Oļegs Šļahovs or Oleg Shliakhov (born 8 September 1973) is a Latvian pair skater. After having seven partners in three years, to at least some of them he was abusive, he competed with Elena Berezhnaya from 1992 to 1996. They enjoyed some success, placing eighth at the 1994 Winter Olympics. (archived) Their partnership ended after a side-by-side camel spin went bad and Shliakhov's blade cut into Berezhnaya's head. After that, Šļahovs teamed up with Elena Sirokhvatova, with whom he placed 20th at the 1997 World Championships.
