Viktar Aliaksandravich Vabishchevich (Belarusian: Віктар Аляксандравіч Вабішчэвіч; born March 22, 1989) is a Belarusian swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] He posted a Belarusian record time of 28.03 seconds in the prelims of the men's 50 m breaststroke at the 2012 European Aquatics Championships in Debrecen, Hungary.[2] He also won a bronze medal in the same event at the 2007 European Junior Swimming Championships in Antwerp, Belgium, clocking at 28.62 seconds.[3]
Vabishchevich competed for Belarus in two swimming events at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Leading up to the Games, he won the 100 m breaststroke race with a scintillating 1:02.19 to dip beneath a FINA B-cut (1:03.72) at the Belarus Open Championships in his native Brest.[4] In the 100 m breaststroke, Vabishchevich wound up last and forty-ninth overall to round out the field in heat five with 1:03.29, failing to advance to the semifinals.[5] Vabishchevich also participated in the 4 × 100 m medley relay, along with his teammates Pavel Sankovich, Yauheni Lazuka, and 2004 Olympian Stanislau Neviarouski. Swimming the breaststroke leg, Vabishchevich recorded a split in 1:01.89, but the Belarusian team had to settle for last place with a final time of 3:39.39.[6]
