'''Vadim Aleksandrovich Sayutin''' ({{lang-ru|Вадим Александрович Саютин}}) (born 31 December 1970) is a former [[Speed skating|speed skater]] who represented the [[Soviet Union]], the [[Unified Team at the Olympics|Commonwealth of Independent States]], [[Kazakhstan]], and [[Russia]], in that order. Sayutin was born in Alma-Ata (now [[Almaty]]), [[Kazakhstan]], the city where the famous [[Medeo]] skating rink is located.

Sayutin performed best on the 5,000 m and the 10,000 m, which often kept him from winning medals during allround championships. However, he also managed to perform well on the 1,500 m a few times, resulting in a bronze medal at the 1998 [[European Speed Skating Championships|European Allround Championships]] and a silver medal at the 1999 [[World Allround Speed Skating Championships|World Allround Championships]]. He participated in four [[Winter Olympic Games]], but never won any medals there.

Sayutin started his speed skating career not long before the [[History of the Soviet Union (1985–1991)#Dissolution of the USSR|dissolution of the Soviet Union]] and so originally represented the Soviet Union. At the [[1992 Winter Olympics]] of [[Albertville]], he represented the Commonwealth of Independent States. After that, he represented Kazakhstan for two seasons. When he married Russian speed skater [[Svetlana Bazhanova]] in 1994, he started skating for Russia. During that time, he lived in the [[Netherlands]] for several years, training at the [[Thialf|Thialf arena]] in [[Heerenveen]].

After the 2002/2003 season, Sayutin ended his speed skating career.
