Yevgeniya Andreyevna Polyakova (Russian: Евгения Андреевна Полякова) (born 29 May 1983 in Moscow) is a Russian sprinter who specializes in the 100 metres.[1]
Polyakova represented Russia at the
4x100 metres relay. In their first round heat they placed second behind Jamaica, but in front of Germany and China. Their time of 42.87 seconds was also the second time overall out of sixteen participating nations. With this result they qualified for the final in which they sprinted to 42.31 seconds, the first place and the gold medal. The Jamaican team did not finish due to a mistake in the baton exchange.[1]
In August 2016, she and her three Russian teammates were stripped of their Olympic gold medal due to a doping violation by Chermoshanskaya.[2][3]
