Illichov qualified only for the men's 4 × 100 m medley relay, as a member of the Ukrainian team, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[3] Teaming with Oleg Lisogor (breaststroke), Andriy Serdinov (butterfly), and Yuriy Yegoshin (freestyle), Illichov led off a backstroke leg with a split of 56.19, but the Ukrainians settled only for sixth place in a final time of 3:36.87, six seconds off a new world record set by the winning U.S. team.[4][5]
