Auburn’s top prospect will be bringing a little more hardware with her to the Plains.
Elizaveta Grebenkova, gymnastics legacy and class of 2027 Auburn commit, won gold on bars on Sunday in the senior division at the Nastia Liukin Cup in Nevada.
The Nastia Liukin Cup is a prestigious level 10 event, and a qualifier-only invitational, bringing together the best U.S. gymnasts just shy of the elite level.
Grebenkova won bars with a 9.825 for her routine. She finished just off the medal stand in the all-around, finishing fourth with a 38.575. She also finished in a tie for fourth on beam with a 9.650.
Grebenkova in 2025 won the all-around in the junior division at the Nastia Liukin Cup.
Grebenkova committed to Auburn in September 2025. As a class of 2027 prospect, she can sign with Auburn as early as this December’s early signing period, and compete with the Tigers in January 2028.
She’s the daughter of two Olympic gymnasts — Georgiy Grebenkov who competed for Russia at the 2004 Athens Olympics and Ludmila Ezhova Grebenkova who won bronze for Russia at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
Grebenkova as rated as a five-star prospect by both College Gym News and CollegeGymFans. She’s rated as the No. 1 overall prospect for the class of 2027 by College Gym News and rated as the No. 2 overall prospect for the class by CollegeGymFans.
