Leonid Khokhlov (Russian: Леонид Хохлов; born June 16, 1980) is a Russian former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] He represented Russia at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and later earned a bronze medal in the freestyle relay at the 2002 FINA Short Course World Championships.
Khokhlov competed only in the men's 4 × 100 m freestyle relay at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.[2] On the first night of the Games, the Russians were disqualified from the championship final because of an early relay launch from Andrey Kapralov on the lead-off leg.[3] Teaming with Kapralov, Denis Pimankov, and sport legend Alexander Popov on the morning prelims, Khokhlov swam a second leg and recorded a split of 51.02 to post a sixth-seeded time of 3:19.70 for the Russian squad.[4][5][6]
At the 2002 FINA Short Course World Championships in Moscow, Khokhlov enjoyed the race of his life in front of a Russian crowd as he shared bronze medals with Kapralov, Pimankov, and Popov in the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay with a time of 3:11.24.[7]
