Paulius Viktoravičius (born 4 November 1984) is a Lithuanian swimmer, who specialized in sprint and relay freestyle events.[1] He is a multiple-time Lithuanian swimming champion and record holder in both the freestyle and medley relay events.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Viktoravicius qualified as an individual swimmer for the men's 100 m freestyle, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 49.93 from the European Championships in Eindhoven, Netherlands.[3][4] He challenged seven other swimmers on the fifth heat, including Czech Republic's Martin Verner and Shaune Fraser of the Cayman Islands. Viktoravicius raced to a second-place tie with Hungary's Balázs Makány, sharing their time at 49.27 seconds. Viktoravicius, however, failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed twenty-eighth overall in the evening preliminaries.[5]
