Pavel Suškov (also Pavelas Suškovas, born December 19, 1981) is a Lithuanian former swimmer, who specialized in backstroke events.[1] He held a Lithuanian record in the 200 m butterfly from the 2005 FINA World Championships in Montreal, Canada, until it was broken by Paulius Andrijauskas two years later in the same tournament. He is a member of Gintaras Sports Club in his home town Klaipėda, and a graduate of technical operations management at Klaipėda University.[2]
Suškov qualified for the men's 200 m backstroke at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by eclipsing a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:02.65 from the World Championships in Barcelona, Spain.[3][4] He challenged seven other swimmers on the second heat, including Olympic veterans Derya Büyükuncu of Turkey and Nicholas Neckles of Barbados. He edged out Poland's Adam Mania to take a fifth spot by 0.19 of a second in 2:03.54. Suškov failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed twenty-sixth overall in the preliminaries.[5][6]
