Youna Dufournet (born October 19, 1993) is a retired French gymnast,[1] the 2009 World Vault bronze medalist, 2009 all-around champion of the Mediterranean Games,[2] and a 2012 Olympian.

In addition to her vaulting medal, Dufournet finished fifth in the all-around competition at the World Championships, the highest placement ever for a female French gymnast.

Dufournet felt she was being pushed too hard during her recovery period, and decided to change gyms in the run-up to the Olympic games.

Dufournet arrived at the 2012 Olympic Games as a favorite to make the uneven bars final, but during her qualifying routine a grip slipped and she fell from the apparatus.

[6][7] Hampered by injury and knowing she was unlikely to be selected for the French Olympic team, she announced her retirement at age 22 on her Facebook on June 19, 2016, saying she had "given 200% of [her] body and soul to gymnastics throughout the years" and "had no regrets".
