Oksana Volodymyrivna Zakharchuk (Ukrainian: Оксана Володимирівна Захарчук; born April 3, 1980, in Ostroh) is a retired Ukrainian shot putter.[1] She represented Ukraine in the women's shot put at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and also set a personal best of 19.05 metres from the national athletics meet in Kyiv.[2]
Zakharchuk qualified for the Ukrainian squad in the women's shot put at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Nearly a week before the Games commenced, she attained a personal best and an Olympic A-standard of 19.05 metres on her last bid from the national athletics meet in Kyiv.[2][3] During the prelims, Zakharchuk unleashed the ball into the field with her best possible effort at 17.28 on her second attempt, falling short to reach her two-week-old personal best by 177 centimetres. As she committed a foul in her final shot, Zakharchuk's feat was worthily enough to secure a twentieth spot from a roster of thirty-eight athletes in the overall standings, nearly missing out the final round by 0.88 metres behind the last qualifier Li Meiju of China.[4][5]
