Gymnastics career

[edit]

Polyashov began gymnastics when he was five years old.[2] He won a silver medal with the Russian team at the 2012 Junior European Championships.[3]

Polyashov was an alternate for the 2016 Summer Olympics team.[4] At the 2017 Summer Universiade, Polyashov won a team bronze[5] and a horizontal bar silver.[6]

Polyashov won the all-around bronze medal at the 2018 Russian Championships.[7] At the 2018 World Championships in Doha, Qatar, he was the alternate on the Russian team that won the silver medal.[4][8] He won the silver medal in the all-around at the 2019 Russian Championships.[4]

Polyashov won a gold medal on the parallel bars at the 2019 Baku World Cup– the first FIG World Cup medal of his career.[9] Then at the Doha World Cup, he won the silver medal behind the reigning World champion, Zou Jingyuan.[10] At the 2019 European Championships, he won a bronze medal on the pommel horse behind Max Whitlock and Cyril Tommasone.[11] He then represented Russia at the 2019 European Games and won the all-around bronze medal behind teammate David Belyavskiy and Ukraine's Oleg Verniaiev.[12] He was the alternate for the Russian team that won the gold medal at the 2019 World Championships.[13] After the World Championships, he competed at the Cottbus World Cup and won the parallel bars bronze medal.[14]

At the 2020 Melbourne World Cup, Polyashov won a gold medal on the parallel bars.[15] He finished second in the parallel bars qualifications at the Baku World Cup, but the finals were canceled due to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.[16]

Polyashov won the parallel bars title at the 2021 Russian Championships.[17] He was selected for one of the Russian Olympic Committee's individual spots at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[18] He competed on the pommel horse and the parallel bars but did not advance beyond the qualification round.[19]

In 2022, the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) banned Russian athletes from international competition.[20] At the 2024 BRICS Games, he won a gold medal on the pommel horse,[21] and he won a silver medal on the parallel bars to teammate Daniel Marinov.[22] Russian athletes were allowed to return to FIG competitions as Authorised Neutral Athletes given they met the neutrality criteria, and Polyashov's application was approved in 2025.[23]
