The leader of the Russian junior artistic gymnastics team, Arseniy Dukhno, dreams of performing at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles and winning a gold medal there. Dukhno told TASS about this.


📈At the Strongest Athletes Cup in Moscow, 16-year-old Dukhno won five gold medals (including in the individual all-around) and two silver medals in junior competitions. In the all-around, he scored more points than Daniil Novikov, who had no equal among adult gymnasts (81.965 versus 81.165).


💬"I haven't fully established myself as a gymnast yet, because I haven't competed at the senior level yet, that will only happen next year," Dukhno answered the question of how he reacts to the positive reviews addressed to him. "The atmosphere in senior gymnastics is a little different, and the competition among athletes is much more serious. In such conditions, you can get nervous and make mistakes on some apparatus. 

🥇My main dream is the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. And I want to win gold there." 


🤸"My strongest apparatuses are floor exercises, vault, plus I've started doing pommel horse pretty well now. I need to tighten up the rings, where I still lack physical strength, I need to add a couple more elements to the parallel bars program, and, of course, tighten up the horizontal bar," the gymnast added. 


👀Dukhno said that he follows how leading foreign gymnasts perform. "I draw something for myself from what I see. I find it interesting to compare myself with them. As for idols, I try to follow the Japanese Kohei Uchimura, I would be glad to meet him someday and get his autograph. Of the Russian gymnasts, I like all our Olympic champions," the TASS source admitted.


💪"The lack of experience in international competitions gives me more motivation to train and improve. This is necessary in order to immediately show a good level of gymnastics after I get admission to foreign tournaments. For now, I am not particularly worried that I am forced to be in isolation, due to my age, I still have everything ahead of me. As for receiving my neutral status, all the documents have been submitted, but no answer has come yet," Dukhno concluded.

We quote several fragments, the full version is available on the publication's website, link at the end. ❓ The Strongest Athletes Cup has recently ended. Did you have time to analyze your performances? 💬 I just rewatched the broadcast, looked at my shortcomings. ❓ Did you set a medal plan for this start? 💬 I didn't think about it. Only that I needed to do my program - and then what will happen. ❓ Did you have time to discuss the competition with your coach? 💬 She praised me, said that I was great. She didn't scold me for mistakes on the beam - on the contrary, she supported me. ❓ Can we say that the beam is your weak spot? This is the only final you didn't get to. 💬 Probably yes. I have this apparatus that is a bit unpolished, so to speak. Treacherous. I need to work...
