Iryna Maystruk (Ukrainian: Ірина Майструк; born October 23, 1987) is a Ukrainian former swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] Maystruk qualified for the women's 200 m breaststroke at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by eclipsing a FINA B-cut of 2:32.85 from the European Junior Championships in Lisbon, Portugal.[2] She challenged seven other swimmers in heat three, including top medal favorite Anne Poleska of Germany. She raced to sixth place by nearly 11 seconds behind winner Poleska in 2:37.42. Maystruk failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed twenty-ninth overall in the preliminaries.[3][4]
