Arsenii Andreevich Dukhno (Russian: Арсений Андреевич Духно; born 5 August 2008) is a Russian artistic gymnast. He is the 2025 Junior World all-around and vault champion and the 2026 European all-around silver medalist.

Gymnastics career

Junior: 2022–2025

Dukhno joined the Russian national team in 2022; however he was unable to compete internationally due to the International Gymnastics Federation banning Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials from taking part in FIG-sanctioned competitions due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1] Domestically he won the all-around title at the 2024 and 2025 Junior Russian Championships[2][3] and won the junior all-around title at the 2024 Voronin Cup.[4]

Starting in 2025 the Artistic Gymnastics Federation of Russia began letting their athletes to apply for neutral status, allowing them to return to international competition.[5] Despite being a junior, Dukhno was invited to compete at the Russian Senior National Championships where he posted the highest all-around score of the competition.[6] Dukhno made his international debut at the 2025 Junior World Championships where he qualified for the all-around, floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, and vault finals. During the all-around final, despite falling off of the horizontal bar, he still won gold ahead of Nao Ojima of Japan.[7] On the first day of apparatus finals he finished fourth on floor exercise and pommel horse and fifth on rings.[8][9][10] On the final day of competition Dukhno won his second gold medal, placing first on vault.[11][12] Dukhno ended the competition as one of only two competitors to win two individual gold medals, alongside Colombia's Camilo Vera.[13]

Senior: 2026–present

Dukhno became age-eligible for senior level competition in 2026. He made his senior international debut at the 2026 Cairo World Cup where he won silver on floor exercise and bronze on parallel bars.[14] He next competed at the Russian Cup where he won his first domestic senior all-around title.[15]

Dukhno competed at the 2026 European Championships alongside Mukhammadzhon Iakubov, Daniel Marinov, Savelii Sieedin, and Ilia Zaika. On the first day of competition Dukhno helped Russia (competing as World Gymnastics 2) qualify to the team final in first place and individually he won silver in the all-around, one-thousandth of a point behind Illia Kovtun.[16] During event finals, he won silver on floor exercise behind two-time Olympic medalist Artem Dolgopyat and placed eighth on pommel horse and seventh on vault.[17] On the final day of the competition, Dukhno helped his team place second behind Great Britain.[18]
