Olga Kharlan, born Olha Hennadiivna Kharlan on 4 September 1990, is a Ukrainian sabre fencer from Mykolaiv. She is a four-time individual women's world sabre champion, a six-time Olympic medalist and the most decorated Ukrainian Olympian in history, and she has been ranked first in the world in women's sabre for five seasons. She helped Ukraine win team gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics at the age of seventeen and again at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and she also won team silver in 2016 and three individual Olympic bronze medals. She was inducted into the International Fencing Federation Hall of Fame in 2016. At the 2023 World Championships in Milan she was black-carded after offering her sabre to a Russian opponent in place of a handshake, a decision that led to her automatic qualification for the 2024 Games. The account here rests on her English Wikipedia article.
