'''Aleksandr Sklyar''' (also ''Alexandr Sklyar'', {{lang-kk|Александр Скляр}}; born May 18, 1988) is a Kazakh swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.<ref>{{cite sports-reference|Aleksandr Sklyar|http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/sk/aleksandr-sklyar-1.html|31 December 2012}}</ref> He represented his nation [[Kazakhstan]] at the [[2008 Summer Olympics]], and has claimed a career total of six medals (two in each color) in a major international competition, spanning two editions of the [[Asian Indoor Games]] (2007 and 2009). Sklyar also won a silver medal, as a member of the Kazakhstan swimming team, in the 4×100 m freestyle relay at the 2008 Good Luck Beijing China Open.<ref>{{cite news|title=Good Luck Beijing China Open: Day Six Finals|url=http://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/lane9/news/16932.asp|publisher=[[Swimming World Magazine]]|date=4 February 2008|accessdate=31 December 2012}}</ref><br />

Sklyar competed for the Kazakh swimming in the [[Swimming at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's 100 metre freestyle|men's 100 m freestyle]] at the [[2008 Summer Olympics]] in [[Beijing]]. Leading up to the Games, he rocked a lifetime best of 50.89 to slip past the FINA B-cut (50.95) by six hundredths of a second (0.06) in the final at the Russian Open Swimming Championships in [[Saint Petersburg, Russia|Saint Petersburg]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Olympic Cut Sheet – Men's 100m Freestyle|url=http://magazines.swimmingworld.com:9997/SPIPDF/080508olyscutsheet.pdf|format=[[PDF]]|page=11|publisher=[[Swimming World Magazine]]|accessdate=9 April 2013}}</ref> Rallying from fifth at the halfway turn in heat three, Sklyar put up a late resistant surge to quickly pass Uzbekistan's [[Petr Romashkin]] by almost half the body length for the fourth spot in 51.24. Sklyar failed to advance to the semifinals, as he placed fifty-second overall out of sixty-four swimmers in the prelims.<ref>{{cite web|title=Men's 100m Freestyle Heat 3|url=http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/swimming/resultsandschedules/rsc=SWM011900/index.html|work=[[Beijing 2008]]|publisher=[[NBC Olympics]]|accessdate=31 December 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=ПЕКИН-2008: Есть первые награды!|trans_title=Beijing 2008: First ever winner!|language=ru|url=http://azh.kz/ru/news/view/1297|publisher=Ak Zhaik|date=14 August 2008|accessdate=29 March 2016}}</ref><br />
