Svetlana Anatolyevna Karpeyeva (also Svetlana Karpeeva, Russian: Светлана Анатольевна Карпеева; born October 16, 1985) is a Russian swimmer, who specialized in freestyle and individual medley events.[2] She has been selected to the Russian swimming team in a medley double at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and also claimed three bronze medals in a major international competition, spanning two editions of the Summer Universiade (2007 and 2009).[3] [4] [5]

Karpeeva competed in a medley double, and as a member of the Russian swimming team in the freestyle relay at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Leading up to the Games, she fired off a fantastic 2:14.13 to wrest the 200 m individual medley title and slide under the FINA A-cut (2:15.27) at the Santa Clara Invitational meet in California.[6] [7]

On the first night of the Games, Karpeeva swam her first two events with only 30 minutes in between. First, she fought off a sprint freestyle challenge from Mexico's Susana Escobar in heat two of the 400 m individual medley, before fading to sixth place and thirty-first overall in 4:50.22.[8] Half an hour later, Karpeeva and her Russian teammates Daria Belyakina, Yelena Sokolova, and Anastasia Aksenova claimed a distant sixth spot and twelfth overall in the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay with a time of 3:42.52. Diving into the pool at the final exchange, she produced an anchor split of 55.52 seconds.[9]

Three days later, Karpeeva missed the top eight final of the 200 m individual medley with a thirteenth-place time in 2:13.26.[10] One night earlier, she scored a solid 2:12.94 on the rear of the dominant breaststroke leg to grab the last semifinal seed, following her fourth-place finish in heat four.[11] [12]

Karpeeva is also a resident athlete of King Aquatic Club in Federal Way, Washington, where she trained with numerous world-class swimmers including Margaret Hoelzer and Megan Jendrick of the United States, and Heather Brand, a butterfly specialist from Zimbabwe.[13] [14]
