'''Lyudmila Andreyevna Kondratyeva''' ({{langx|ru|Людмила Андреевна Кондратьева}}; born 11 April 1958) is a Russian former [[track and field]] athlete, who competed for the [[Soviet Union]] and is the 1980 [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] 100 m champion.

Kondratyeva began athletics at age 11 at the [[Children and Youth Sport School]] in Shakhty, her first trainer being Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlenko.<ref name="Book">{{cite book|title=Lyudmila Kondratyeva|author=R.

Now one of the medal favourites for the [[1980 Summer Olympics]], which were held in [[Moscow]], she also ran a non-recognised [[World Record]] just before the Olympics. The final in Moscow was a close race, with the first 5 athletes finishing within 1 tenth of a second. A photo finish showed that Kondratyeva had beaten [[Marlies Göhr]] of [[East Germany]] by just 0.01 seconds. Kondratyeva pulled her [[hamstring]] at the finish, thereby not allowing her to run the 200 m or the 4 × 100 m relay.

Unable to compete at the [[1984 Summer Olympics]] due to the boycott led by the Soviet Union, Kondratyeva could not defend her Olympic title. She retired after that season and married [[Yuriy Sedykh]], two-time Olympic champion in the [[hammer throw]], although they would later divorce. The pair had a daughter, [[Oksana Kondratyeva]], who followed in her father's footsteps and became an international hammer thrower.<ref>Dolgopolov, Nickolai & Orlov, Rostislav (1 June 2009).

She came out of retirement to compete at the [[1988 Summer Olympics|1988 Seoul Olympic Games]]. She made the semi-finals of the 100 m and won a bronze medal as part of the Soviet women's 4 × 100 m relay.
