Lyasan Albertovna Utiasheva (Russian: Ляйсан Альбертовна Утяшева; Bashkir: Ләйсән Альберт ҡыҙы Үтәшева; born 28 June 1985) is a Russian socialite, television host, and former individual rhythmic gymnast. She is a two-time Grand Prix Final all-around medalist, and was an ambassador of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Utiasheva was known for her extreme flexibility, her emphasis in point of landing on high relevé in her backsplit pivots led to a career ending injury.
