Svetlana Romashina is a Russian athlete in synchronized swimming. She is a five-time Olympic champion and a twenty-one-time World Champion. Svetlana won the gold at three consecutive Olympic events, namely the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2012 London Olympics, and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. To her credit, she also won the duo event in both London and Rio de Janeiro with Natalia Ishchenko

Romashina started synchronized swimming when she was six years old. As a little girl, she didn’t know much about synchronized swimming because the sport wasn’t popular where she was from. But after her coach saw potential in her, he goaded her into joining the synchronized swimming team. Since then, it was all she was doing as a pro athlete. She took a break after the Rio games to give birth to her child. In 2019, she returned to compete, only to announce a year later that she’ll be retiring.
