Sergei Fedorchenko (born 18 September 1974) is a Kazakhstani former gymnast who competed in the 1996 Summer Olympics and in the 2000 Summer Olympics.[1]

The "Fedorchenko" is a dismount from high bar with two laid out backflips and three twists. It remains rare because of its difficulty. Only one gymnast used the dismount and it was at the 2008 Olympics, performed by silver-medalist Jonathan Horton.
