Olga's Story

Olga Burtaev was just 17 years old when she competed at the London 2012 Olympics, her debut Games. She was the youngest member of the Australian synchronised swimming team that finished eighth. Born in Russia, Burtaev moved to Australia in 1994 and progressed from ballet into the sport when she was 10 years old after being invited to try it at a new club.
