Olga Gennadyevna Vilukhina (Template:Lang-ru; born 22 March 1988) is a former Russian biathlete, who was competing on the World Cup circuit since the 2008–09 season.

Career

She has had four Top 10 finishes in World Cup races in individual races. Vilukhina was born in Mezhgorye, Bashkir ASSR, Soviet Union. She has won gold at 2006 Junior World Championships in Sprint.[1] In the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, she finished second in the sprint.

Before the start of the 2014-2015 season the coach announced that Olga Vilukhina will miss him.[2]

After lackluster results in 2015-2016, she announced the end of her career before the start of the 2016-2017 season, citing lack of motivation.[3]

In December 2016, IBU provisionally suspended her for doping violations during the 2014 Winter Olympics, along with Yana Romanova.[4]
