Serghei Stolearenco (born November 14, 1978) is a Moldovan former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] He is a single-time Olympian (2000), and a member of a swimming club for Dynamo Moldova.
Stolearenco competed only in the men's 50 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He achieved a FINA B-standard entry time of 23.86 from the Russian Open Championships in Saint Petersburg.[2] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat four, including Kyrgyzstan's Sergey Ashihmin, Goodwill Games silver medalist for Russia, and Kazakhstan's two-time Olympian Sergey Borisenko. He raced to a third seed by 0.38 of a second behind Borisenko, winner of his heat, in a lifetime best of 23.84. Stolearenco failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-seventh overall out of 80 swimmers in the prelims.[3][4]
