Level 7 National Champion

Aruyel Davidson Wins Silver at the 2026 DVP National Championship

On June 13–14, 2026, the DVP National Championship took place in West Palm Beach, Florida, bringing together the strongest rhythmic gymnasts from across the United States.

The championship featured athletes who successfully advanced through both the State and Regional Championships. Only the top 12 gymnasts from each of the six USA Gymnastics regions qualified to represent their region at the national level.

Representing Region 3, Aruyel Davidson delivered an outstanding performance and became the Level 7 All-Around Silver Medalist, earning the second-highest combined score across all apparatus routines regardless of age division.

Aruyel trains under the guidance of Head Coach Natalia Pushkina, who oversees her long-term athletic development, competitive preparation, and routine choreography. Together, they have worked throughout the season to refine both the technical and artistic aspects of her performances.

Congratulations on an outstanding achievement and a successful national championship performance.
