Yahor Aliaksandravich Salabutau (Belarusian: Ягор Аляксандравіч Салобутов; born January 24, 1984) is a Belarusian former swimmer, who specialized in freestyle events.[1] Salabutau qualified for the men's 200 m freestyle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 1:51.23 from the Belarus Open Championships in Minsk.[2] He challenged seven other swimmers on the fourth heat, including two-time Olympians Joshua Ilika Brenner of Mexico and Giancarlo Zolezzi of Chile. He raced to sixth place by three hundredths of a second (0.03) behind Algeria's Mahrez Mebarek in 1:53.03.
