Kseniya Leonidovna Moskvina (Russian: Ксения Леонидовна Москвина; born May 29, 1989 in Chelyabinsk) is a Russian swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] She set a European record time of 56.36 seconds by winning the gold medal in the 100 m backstroke at the 2009 European Short Course Swimming Championships in Istanbul, Turkey, in addition to her two bronze from the 50 m backstroke and the women's 4×100 m medley relay.[2]
Moskvina represented Russia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the backstroke and medley relay events. She swam in the sixth heat of the women's 100 m backstroke against seven other competitors, including France's Laure Manaudou and Japan's Reiko Nakamura, who eventually won the bronze medal in the 200 m backstroke. She came only in fifth place by six tenths of a second (0.60) ahead of Croatia's Sanja Jovanović, with a time of 1:00.70. Moskvina automatically advanced into the semi-finals, as she placed sixteenth overall in the preliminary heats.[3] The following day, Moskvina, however, fell short in her bid to qualify for the final, when she finished the first semi-final round in last place and fourteenth overall, with a time of 1:01.06, one hundredth of a second (0.01) behind Australia's Sophie Edington.[4]
On the last day of the preliminary heats, Moskvina joined the Russian team, with her fellow swimmers Anastasia Aksenova, Yuliya Yefimova, and Natalya Sutyagina, for the 4×100 m medley relay. Swimming the backstroke leg, Moskvina recorded a time of 1:01.05, and the Russian team went on to finish the second heat in third place and fifth overall, for a total time of 3:59.66.[5] Although Moskvina competed only in the preliminary heats, the Russian team, led by Yefimova and Anastasia Zuyeva, repeated their position and performance by finishing fifth in the final, with a fastest possible time of 3:57.84.[6] In March 2013 Moskvina has been suspended for six years for a second doping violation.[7]
