Career
Khaleyeva competed for Azerbaijan in the women"s 50 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She received a ticket from FINA, under a Universality program, in an entry time of 28.00. She challenged seven other swimmers in heat three, including Nigeria"s top favorite Ngozi Monu and Aruba"s 15-year-old teen Roshendra Vrolijk.
Entering the race with a fastest-seeded time, Khaleyeva scorched the field effortlessly with a powerful pace, but fell short to third seed in 28.79, almost six-tenths of a second (060) behind the leader Monu.
Khaleyeva failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed fifty-ninth overall out of 74 swimmers in the prelims.
