Petr Romashkin (Uzbek: Пётр Ромашкин; born July 5, 1989) is an Uzbek swimmer, who specializes in sprint freestyle events.[1][2] He was selected to compete for the Uzbek swimming squad at the 2008 Summer Olympics, placing himself in the top 60 of the men's 100 m freestyle.
Romashkin qualified for the men's 100 m freestyle at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 50.92 from the Russian Open Swimming Championships in Saint Petersburg.[3] He challenged seven other swimmers on the third heat, including 16-year-olds Virdhawal Khade of India and Christopher Duenas of Guam. Romashkin raced to sixth place by three hundredths of a second (0.03) behind South Korea's Lim Nam-Gyun in a time of 51.83 seconds. Romashkin failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed fifty-fifth out of 64 swimmers in the preliminary heats.[4]
