Natalya Nikolayevna Antyukh (Russian: Наталья Николаевна Антюх, born 26 June 1981 in Leningrad) is a Russian sprint runner who primarily competes in the 400 metres and 400-metre hurdles. She won the gold medal in 400 m hurdles at the 2012 Summer Olympics,[2] after winning a bronze medal in the 400 m dash at the 2004 Olympics. She is the only woman to win an Olympic medal in both the 400 m hurdles and 400 m dash.
In addition to winning medals in individual contests, she has been a very successful relay runner, winning a silver medal at the 2004 Olympics.
In 2020, Antyukh was among four Russian track and field athletes charged with doping offences, facing charges of using a prohibited substance or method. The Athletics Integrity Unit said the cases were based on an investigation into Russian doping for the World Anti-Doping Agency presented in 2016 by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren.[3] Her ban was confirmed on 7 April 2021 by the Court of Arbitration for Sport when she was banned from athletics for 4 years with all her results from 30 June 2013 onwards disqualified.[4]
Her younger brother, Kirill Antyukh is a former competitive sprinter, who turned to bobsleigh, and was part of the reserve Russian squad for the 2014 Winter Olympics.[5]
