Ksenia Semyonova (also spelled Semenova) ( _ru. Ксения Семёнова, born 20 October, 1992 in Tula, Russia) is a Russian artistic gymnast. She is the 2007 World Champion on the uneven bars, and the 2008 European Champion on the uneven bars and the balance beam. She was a member of the silver-medal-winning Russian team at the 2008 European Championships.

She represented Russia at the 2008 Summer Olympics and placed 4th in the all-around.

ignature skill

It is believed that Ksenia is the first female gymnast ever to perform the move known as "Tkatchev to immediate giant full." This is a very challenging move to perform, normally only seen on Men's High Bar. The move is difficult because a gymnast must get enough speed after the release skill to continue swinging but also must clear the low bar.
