Oksana Vasilyevna Lyapina (Russian: Оксана Васильевна Ляпина; born 28 April 1980 in Armavir, Russian SFSR) is a Russian artistic gymnast who represented Russia at the 1996 Summer Olympics.

Career

Lyapina competed in the 1995 Junior European Championships and helped her team win gold.

In 1996, she competed at the Olympic Games, along with Rozalia Galiyeva and Svetlana Khorkina. Although first in the compulsory round, they ultimately won silver in the team event. They were disappointed, feeling that they had deserved gold. Russia had a tough time focusing due partly to the American crowd in Atlanta, which distracted them many times - resulting in many falls and wobbles. Lyapina fell from the beam.

After the Olympics, Lyapina won some of her first individual medals but an injury prevented her from proper training and competing, so she failed to make the 1997 World Championships.
