Vera Sergeyevna Andreyeva (also Vera Andreeva, Russian: Вера Сергеевна Андреева; born May 10, 1988 in Cheboksary) is a Russian amateur mountain biker.[1] She represented her nation Russia, as a 20-year-old junior, at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and later finished second in the women's elite cross-country race at the 2012 Russian Mountain Biking Championships.
Andreeva qualified for the Russian squad, along with her teammate and top medal contender Irina Kalentieva, in the women's cross-country race at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing by receiving one of the nation's two available berths based on her top-ten performance from the UCI Mountain Biking World Rankings.[2] With two laps left to complete the race, Andreeva suffered a heat-related fatigue under Beijing's hot and humid weather, and instead decided to pull off from the course, finishing only in twenty-third place.[3][4]
