Aleksandr Shilin (Russian: Александр Шилин; born February 2, 1976) is a Russian-born Kyrgyzstani former swimmer, who specialized in middle-distance freestyle and sprint backstroke events.[1] He represented his adopted nation Kyrgyzstan at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and posted top-ten times in 50 m backstroke from the European and Russian Swimming Masters.[2][3]
Shilin competed in two relay swimming events at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.[4][5] On the fourth day of the Games, Shilin, along with Andrei Pakin, Ivan Ivanov, and Dmitri Kuzmin, were disqualified from heat one for an early takeoff during the lead-off leg.[6][7] Three days later, in the 4×100 m medley relay, Shilin teamed up with Russian imports Alexander Tkachev, Konstantin Ushkov, and Sergey Ashihmin. Leading off the backstroke leg in the same heat, he recorded a split of 57.88, but a diverse Kyrgyzstan team settled for seventh place and nineteenth overall in a final time of 3:46.70.[8][9][10]
