Olga Sergejewna Sabelinskaja ( Russian Ольга Сергеевна Забелинская , also transcribed Olga Zabelinskaya ; born May 10, 1980 in Leningrad ) is an Uzbek , former Russian cyclist and two-time Olympian (2012, 2016).

Athletic career

In 1997, Olga Sabelinskaja became Junior World Champion, in the individual time trial and in the points race on the track . In the following year, she took three second places at the Junior World Championships: in the points race as well as in the road race and individual time trial.

In 2001 Sabelinskaja was third in the U-23 European road racing championships , and the following year she won the title of European champion in this discipline. In 2010 she won the International Women's Tour of Thuringia . She has been the Russian champion several times. The 2010 season she finished eleventh in the UCI rankings . At the 2012 Olympic Games in London, she won bronze in the road race (behind the Dutch Marianne Vos and the British Elizabeth Armitstead ) and in the individual time trial.

Doping ban 2014

At the end of 2014, Sabelinskaya temporarily ended her cycling career. After retiring, she was acquitted by the Russian Cycling Federation in December 2015 of allegations of doping abuse , which arose from a positive doping test in early 2014 when she tested positive for the stimulant octopamine . The Union Cycliste Internationale appealed this decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in January 2016 .

In February 2016 she accepted a retroactive 18-month doping ban and was able to start at the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro , where she won the silver medal in the individual time trial. In the same year she was third in the road race of the European Road Championships .

In 2018, Sabelinskaja won the Tour of Eftalia Hotels & Velo Alanya and the Tour of Thailand , and she was once again the Russian champion in the individual time trial and won the Chrono des Nations . In August of that year, she announced that she was planning to change associations and start for Uzbekistan in the future, as she was afraid of being allowed to start at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo due to the doping incidents in Russia .

In 2019, Olga Sabelinskaja won six medals at the Asian Championships: gold on the road in the road race and in the individual time trial as well as in the points trial on the track , where she also placed second in the single pursuit and third in the Omnium and with Ekaterina Knebelewa in the two-man team .
