Iryna Vitaliïvna Amshennikova (Ukrainian: Ірина Віталіївна Амшеннікова, born 19 May 1986) is a Ukrainian backstroke swimmer. She had her best achievements in short course competitions, where she won bronze at the 2002 FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m) in the 200 m backstroke[2] and six medals, including one gold, at the European Short Course Swimming Championships.[3] She also competed at the 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics in several events, but was eliminated in the preliminaries.[4] During her career she set 29 national records in the 50–200 m backstroke and various relay events.[5]
Amshennikova was born in Komsomolsk, Ukraine, to Olga Oleksandrovna (Ukrainian: Ольга Олександрівна), a competitive swimmer, and Vitali Alekseevich (Ukrainian: Віталій Олексійович), an amateur track and orienteering athlete. Her brother Eugene (Ukrainian: Женя) started with swimming but then became a competitive shooter. In 1997, her local pool was closed for reparations and Iryna moved to Kyiv, where she studied and trained in a boarding school. In 2004, she relocated to Zaporizhia to train with the coach Anatoly Zhuravlev. She graduated from the National University of Physical Education and Sports of Ukraine.[6][7]
