Anastasia Andreyevna Ilyankova (Russian: Анастасия Андреевна Ильянкова, born 12 January 2001) is a Russian artistic gymnast. She resides in Leninsk-Kuznetsky, Russia, and is coached by S.V. Kiselev and N.V. Kiseleva.

Junior career

Ilyankova competed at the 2014 L'International Gymnix, where Russia won the team gold medal. She won two gold medals in uneven bars and balance beam at the 2016 European Junior Championships.^[1]

Senior career

2017

Ilyankova was injured at the beginning of the 2017 season, competing only on Bars at the Russian Championships and missing a spot on the Jesolo and European Championships team. Instead, she made her debut at the Osijek World Cup, competing only on Uneven Bars and Balance Beam, winning gold and silver respectively. She later competed at the Russian Cup, winning the Bars title. Her victory in Uneven Bars earned her a place on the provisional Russian 2017 World Championships team to Montreal, Canada. It was later announced that Ilyankova had undergone a spinous process injury, causing pain in her training and that her participation at the World Championships would be dependent on whether or not she would be ready in time.

Ilyankova was prepared for the competition, and traveled to Montréal with the team for the World Championships. She qualified to the uneven bars final with a score of 15.066, less that a tenth of a point behind Elena Eremina and beating teammate Angelina Melnikova for the second spot. In the final, her foot hit the bar on her Shang release, leading her to take fourth place behind Nina Derwael of Belgium, Eremina, and Fan Yilin of China.

2018

In April, Ilyankova competed at the 2018 City of Jesolo trophy event in Italy. She earned a gold medal with the Russian team, a bronze in the all-around behind USA's Ragan Smith and Emma Malabuyo, and gold on the uneven bars, ahead of Smith and teammate Angelina Melnikova. She also finished eighth on balance beam.
