Olga Igoryevna Detenyuk (Russian: Ольга Игоревна Детенюк; born June 23, 1993) is a Russian swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] She represented her nation Russia, as a 15-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and has claimed a full set of career medals in a major international competition, spanning the World and European Junior Championships and the inaugural 2010 Summer Youth Olympics in Singapore.[2][3]
Detenyuk claimed her first title in the 200 m breaststroke at the 2008 FINA Youth World Swimming Championships in Monterrey, Mexico, demolishing a meet record of 2:25.19.[4] Leading to her Olympic debut as a fifteen-year-old, she scored a second-place time of 2:26.15 just behind Yuliya Yefimova to assure a direct selection to the Olympic swimming team and slide strenuously under the FINA A-cut (2:28.20) at the Russian Championships on that same year in Moscow.[5]
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Detenyuk competed as a lone Russian swimmer in the women's 200 m breaststroke. Swimming alongside Yefimova in heat four, Detenyuk tried to hold on with the top four leaders throughout the race, but faded down the stretch to take the seventh spot in 2:27.87. Detenyuk missed the semifinals by 0.6-second margin, sharing a twentieth-place tie with Great Britain's Kirsty Balfour in the prelims.[6]
When Singapore hosted the inaugural 2010 Summer Youth Olympics in 2010, Detenyuk and her teammates Alexandra Papusha, Kristina Kochetkova, and Ekaterina Andreeva solidified their silver-medal finish in the girls' 4×100 m medley relay with a time of 4:11.07, trailing the victorious Aussie foursome by nearly two seconds.[7]
