Polina Aleksandrovna Guryeva (Turkmen: Polina Aleksandrowna Gurýewa, Russian: Полина Александровна Гурьева, born 5 October 1999) is a Turkmenistani weightlifter. She competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo in 2021 and won a silver medal in the women's 59 kg competition.[2][3] This was the first ever Olympic medal for Turkmenistan.[4][5]
She is one of the few Turkmens who won Olympic medals, joining the likes of the late Marat Nyýazow (who represented the USSR at the 1960 Olympics in Rome)[6] and Daniyar İsmayilov (an ethnic Turkmen who represents Turkey).
