Daria Atamanov (Hebrew: דריה אטמנוב, Russian: Дарья Анатольевна Атаманова; born December 6, 2005) is a retired Israeli individual rhythmic gymnast. She is the 2022 European all-around Champion, and the 2023 World Championship all-around bronze medalist. She is also the 2022 European Championship silver medalist in hoop, clubs, ribbon, and the team bronze medalist. On a national level, she is the 2022 & 2024 Israeli National all-around champion and a two-time (2019, 2020) Israeli Junior National all-around champion. Atamanov represented Israel at the 2024 Paris Olympics in the Women's rhythmic individual all-around and came in fifth in her first Olympics.

Early life

Before Atamanov was born, her parents emigrated from Uzbekistan to Israel. She was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, and is Jewish. She attended Tomshin High School.

Rhythmic gymnastics career

Atamanov took up rhythmic gymnastics at age seven. She is coached by Ayelet Zussman and by Israeli former gymnast and 2020 Olympic gold medal winner Linoy Ashram. She trains at the Wingate Institute in Israel.

She said, "I always have the same goal: to feel I gave it my all and put out the best performance on the carpet. My love for this sport is what inspires me the most. I just love it. It excites me and every time I'm on the carpet, I feel that fire inside."

Junior; Junior European Champion

During her junior career, Atamanov was the 2020 Junior European Champion in Kyiv, Ukraine, with clubs. She was also the silver medallist with rope and bronze medallist with ribbon, and she was fourth in the ball final. Atamanov also captured the highest all-around Junior score.

Senior

2022: European Champion

In the 2022 season, Atamanov debuted in March as a senior, competing at the 2022 World Cup Athens in Greece. She won a silver medal in the all-around behind Italian Sofia Raffaeli, and in the apparatus finals, she won two gold medals (with hoop and ribbon) and two silver medals (with ball and clubs). She then competed at the 2022 World Cup Baku in Azerbaijan, where she achieved 4th place in the all-around final behind Italian Milena Baldassarri and won a gold medal with clubs and silver with ribbon.

At the 2022 European Championship in Tel Aviv, Israel, on June 18, Atamanov became the European all-around champion, beating out silver medal winner Bulgarian Boryana Kaleyn. She was the second Israeli gymnast to win the European title after Linoy Ashram.

On the same day, she also won a bronze medal in the team final along with her teammates Adi Asya Katz and the Israeli senior group. The next day, Atamanov won the silver medal hoop and clubs, both behind Sofia Raffaeli, and another silver in ribbon behind Bulgarian Boryana Kaleyn.

In July 2022, at the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, Alabama, Atamanov won the gold medal in ball and ribbon and the silver medal in clubs (behind Sofia Raffaeli). She became the first-ever Israeli athlete to win a gold medal at the World Games.

In August 2022 Atamanov competed at the World Challenge Cup in Cluj Napoca, Romania, where she won the bronze medal in the all-around competition, gold with the ball, and silver with the clubs and the ribbon.

Atamanov was selected to compete at the 2022 World Championships in September 2022, taking place in Sofia, Bulgaria. However, she broke her left leg in warmups while doing a jump just before the qualifying round commenced. She did not compete again until 10 months later, in July 2023, at the Milan World Cup in Italy.

2023: Comeback from injury; Bronze in world championships

In February 2023, Forbes Israel listed her on its "30 Under 30" list.

Atamanov made her comeback in July at the 2023 World Cup in Milan. She was fourth in the all-around. In September, at the 2023 Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships in Valencia, Spain, Atamanov finished 5th in the individual ball final and 7th with ribbon. In the all-around final, she won the bronze medal behind German gymnast Darja Varfolomeev and Sofia Raffaeli.

2024

In February 2024, she was given the "Outstanding Performance" award by the European Gymnastics Union.

In March 2024 at the FIG World Cup in Palaio Faliro in Athens, Greece, Atamanov placed 5th in the all-around final and qualified for the hoop and ball final. She finished 8th with hoop and ball. The next month, at the World Cup in Sofia, Bulgaria, she won the bronze medal in the all-around behind Bulgarians Boryana Kaleyn and Stiliana Nikolova. The next day, she won the hoop title, silver with ribbon, and bronze with ball.

At the inaugural edition of the 2024 European Cup, she won the bronze medal in the all-around.

2024 Paris Olympics

Atamanov represented Israel at the 2024 Paris Olympics in the rhythmic individual all-around at 18 years of age. She qualified for the final, where she came in fifth all-around and was third in her best routine with the ribbon, in which she performed to Gad Elbaz’s “Shir Lemaalot”.
