Anastasiya Prokopenko, nee Samusevich (Belarusian: Настасся Валер’еўна Пракапенка (Самусевіч); Łacinka: Nastassia Samusievič Prakapienka; born 20 September 1985) is a Belarusian modern pentathlete who competed at three Summer Olympics.[2]

Career

In 2018, she was awarded the bronze medal of the women's competition at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing,[3] following the disqualification of Ukraine's Viktoriya Tereshchuk, due to a doping offense. She finished sixth in 2012. Prokopenko also set a world record time of 10:20.90 in the combined running and shooting segment.[4]

Prokopenko also won a team gold medal at the 2007 World Modern Pentathlon Championships in Berlin, Germany, along with her compatriots Tatsiana Mazurkevich and Hanna Vasilionak.

At the 2018 World Modern Pentathlon Championships in Mexico City, Prokopenko won the world title in the women's individual event [5] as well as in the Women's Relay event (together with compatriot Iryna Prasiantsova)[6]
