Lyudmila Ivanovna Gurevitch (nee Shevtsova later Lysenko;[1] born 26 November 1934) is a retired Russian-Ukrainian athlete who competed mainly in the 800 metres.

Two Australians, Brenda Jones and Dixie Willis led the race.

With 50–70 m left, Willis stepped on the curb and dropped out of competition, while Shevtsova gradually reached Jones and won in the last meters.

Shevtsova first trained in artistic gymnastics, and changed to running only in 1951, after unexpectedly winning a cross-country race at the Dnipropetrovsk championships.
