Irina Viktorovna Khazova, born Irina Artemova (Russian: Ирина Викторовна Хазова; born March 20, 1984, in Sarov) is a Russian cross-country skier who competed from 2003 to 2007. She was then suspended for two years for the use of illegal drugs (doping). She then resumed her career for the 2009–10 Olympic season in very good shape. Khazova won a bronze in the women's team sprint event at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.[1]

Her best World Cup finish so far is a second place, which she earned in a 10 km classic competition at Ruka, Kuusamo, Finland on November 29, 2009.

Khazova competed for Russia at the 2007 World Championships in Sapporo, finishing 24th in the 7.5 km + 7.5 km double pursuit.

Doping sanction
