Svetlana Romashina

Svetlana Alekseyevna Romashina is a Russian artistic swimmer, known in earlier decades as a synchronized swimmer, who was born on 21 September 1989 in Moscow and trained with the club Dynamo Moscow. She competed at four Olympic Games between 2008 and 2020. Her Wikipedia biography counts 41 gold medals across the Olympics, the world championships and the European championships, and states that after she won two golds at the 2020 Summer Olympics she became the most decorated athlete in the history of her sport. At Tokyo she swam for the Russian Olympic Committee team, won the duet and the team event, and then announced the end of her Olympic career. Olympedia credits her with seven Olympic gold medals in all, and lists her as the flag bearer of the Russian team at the closing ceremony of the 2016 Games.
