Ivan Demyanenko (Uzbek: Иван Демьяненко; born April 23, 1989) is an Uzbek swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1][2] He represented his nation Uzbekistan at the 2008 Summer Olympics, finishing in the top 60 of the men's 100 m breaststroke.
Demyanenko qualified for the men's 100 m breaststroke at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by clearing a FINA B-standard time of 1:03.59 from the Belarus Swimming Championships in Minsk.[3] He challenged seven other swimmers on the third heat, including three-time Olympians Malick Fall of Senegal and Alwin de Prins of Luxembourg.
