Larisa Korotkevich (Russian: Лариса Короткевич; born 3 January 1967) is a retired female discus thrower from Russia.
She entered the competition as the highest ranked athlete that season (world leader Xiao Yanling did not attend).
[6] Korotkevich was chosen for the 1992 IAAF World Cup held one month later, but was again out of the medals in fourth place, this time edged out by Chinese Min Chunfeng.
She won the Russian Athletics Championships with a 67.52 m (221 ft 6+1⁄4 in) performance,[8] then held off namesake Larisa Mikhalchenko of Ukraine to lift the title at the 1993 European Cup.
[4] After several years away from the top level, she returned in 1997 and won the Brothers Znamensky Memorial with a throw of 64.92 m (212 ft 11+3⁄4 in).
[11] At the 1997 World Championships in Athletics she was again fourth place at a major global event, some two metres off the bronze medallist and fellow Russian Natalya Sadova.
[4] She was in lesser form the following season, having a best of 61.66 m (202 ft 3+1⁄2 in), but she still managed second place at the Russian Championships,[11] as women's throws performances declined in an era of increasing drug testing scrutiny.
