Tatyana Sergeyevna Moskvina (alsoTatsiana Siarheievna Maskvina,Belarusian:Таццяна Сяргееўна Масквіна; born 10 January 1973 inNovosibirsk) is a Russian-bornBelarusianjudoka, who competed in the women's extra-lightweight category.[1] Holding a dual citizenship to compete internationally, Moskvina held the 2003 Belarusian senior title in her own division, picked up a total of seventeen medals in her career, including four from theEuropean Championships, and represented her naturalized nationBelarus in two editions of the Olympic Games (1996 and 2004).[2] Currently a permanent resident inMinsk and a naturalized Belarusian citizen, Moskvina trained under head coach and sensei Magomed Ramazanov for Dinamo.[3][4]
Moskvina made her official debut at the1996 Summer Olympics inAtlanta, where she competed in thewomen's extra-lightweight class (48 kg). She fell in a bodily shatteringippon defeat to Japanese judoka and reigning Olympic championRyoko Tamura during their opening match, but redeemed her chance for an Olympic medal by thwarting Honduras' Dora Maldonado and Italy's Giovanna Tortora in the repechage. Fighting against Algeria'sSalima Souakri for a spot in the bronze medal final, Moskvina conceded with a chui penalty and a false attack, and lost the match by points and caution.[5][6]
Despite missing out the2000 Summer Olympics inSydney due to sustained injuries, Moskvina reached the pinnacle of her judo career by picking up two career medals at theEuropean Championships in 2002 and 2003. The following year, she sought bid for her second Olympic stint with a sterling silver in the 48-kg division at the same tournament inBucharest, losing the final match to Romania'sAlina Dumitru by anippon.[2]
At the2004 Summer Olympics inAthens, Moskvina qualified for her second Belarusian squad, as a 31-year-old veteran and a lone female judoka, in thewomen's extra-lightweight class (48 kg), by placing second and receiving a berth from the A-Tournament inTallinn, Estonia.[2][7] She opened her match with a swift exit from French judoka and eventual silver medalistFrédérique Jossinet, who scored an effortless, fifteen-secondippon victory and pulverized her into thetatami with asukui nage (scoop throw). In the repechage, Moskvina gained control to pin Australia'sSonya Chervonsky on the mat within a full minute, before succumbed to awaza-ari awasete ippon hold from China'sGao Feng in her subsequent match.[8][9][10]
