Arsenii Andreevich Dukhno (Russian: Арсений Андреевич Духно; born 5 August 2008) is a Russian artistic gymnast currently competing as an individual neutral athlete. He is the 2025 Junior World all-around and vault champion.
Gymnastics career
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]
