Yevgeny Petrashov (born September 4, 1974) is a Kyrgyzstani former swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] He is a three-time Olympian (1996, 2000, and 2004), and a former Kyrgyzstan record holder in both 100 and 200 m breaststroke.

Biography

His son is Olympic swimmer Denis Petrashov.[2]

Petrashov made his first Kyrgyz team at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. There, he failed to reach the top 16 final in the men's 100 m breaststroke, finishing in forty-second place with a time of 1:07.44.[3] He also placed twenty-first, as a member of the Kyrgyzstan team, in the 4 × 100 m medley relay (3:56.24).[4]

On his second Olympic appearance in Sydney 2000, Petrashov fell to last place and fifty-ninth overall in heat four of the 100 m breaststroke by a 3.30-second margin behind joint winners Arsenio López of Puerto Rico and Valērijs Kalmikovs of Latvia, finishing the race at 1:07.32.[5]

Petrashov swam for his third time in the 100 m breaststroke at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He achieved a FINA B-standard of 1:04.82 from the Kazakhstan Open Championships in Almaty.[6] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat two, including Madagascar's Jean Luc Razakarivony, who also competed in the same number of Games. He earned a seventh spot by four hundredths of a second (0.04) behind Razakarivony in 1:07.78. Petrashov ended his third and final Olympic stint with a fifty-fifth-place effort on the first day of preliminaries.[7][8]

Petrashov currently serves as the head coach of Kyrgyzstan's swimming squad.[9]
