Aleksandr Yegorov (Russian: Александр Егоров; born June 16, 1976) is a Kyrgyz former swimmer, who specialized in backstroke events.[1] Yegorov competed only in the men's 200 m backstroke at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He posted a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:07.11 from the Russian National Championships in Moscow.[2] He challenged five other swimmers in heat one, including Hong Kong's Alex Fong, who later became one of city's most popular singers. He rounded out the field to last place with a slowest time of 2:13.85. Yegorov failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-fourth overall in the prelims.[3]
