Vadims Vasilevskis
Vadims Vasiļevskis (born January 5, 1982) is a Latvian athlete, a silver medalist of 2004 Summer Olympics in javelin throw.
Vasiļevskis was the biggest surprise among Latvia's medal winners in 2004 Olympics. Latvia had three competitors in javelin throw: Vasiļevskis, Ēriks Rags and Voldemārs Lūsis, with Vasiļevskis being the youngest and the least known of the three. In Olympics, Vasiļevskis was the best of the three, throwing for 84.95 m, two and a half meters further than his previous personal record and winning a silver medal.
