Maëna Millon (born 22 February 2003) is a French individual rhythmic gymnast. She is the 2025 French National all-around champion.
Junior
Millon started rhythmic gymnastics at age 6 in Ligueil, France. Her idol is French rhythmic gymnast Eva Serrano.
In 2018, she won bronze medal in all-around at French National Championships and also won gold medal in ball, silver in ribbon and bronze in hoop.[3] She represented France at the 2018 European Junior Championships in Guadalajara. Together with her teammates Manelle Inaho, Célia Joseph-Noël, Hélène Karbanov and senior group, she finished 8th in the team competition. She competed with ball (47th place) and ribbon (22nd place).[4]
Senior
In 2019, she started competing as a senior. She debuted on international level at Baku World Cup, where she was 48th in all-around. Later, she competed at World Challenge Cup in Minsk, Belarus, where she ended on 33rd place in All-around. She won silver medal in all-around at French National Championships.[5] In September, she and Valerie Romenski competed at the 2019 World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan. Maena took 66th place in all-around qualifications and 17th place in team competition.[6]
In 2020, Millon began experiencing persistent headaches that gradually worsened and affected her training. Her performance declined, prompting her coaches to ease her training load. Despite the pain, she continued to train daily and was later diagnosed with tension-type headaches. A new treatment helped her recover. As a result of her condition, she was not selected for the 2020 European Championships in Kyiv, Ukraine. After finishing last in the first selection test, she withdrew from the second to focus on recovery — a decision she later viewed as the right one, especially since France ultimately did not send any senior gymnasts.[7]
In 2021, she was invited to a selection test at INSEP for the World Championships in Kitakyushu, Japan, but she was unable to participate due to a minor sprain and therefore did not make it to the team.[8]
She returned to the international scene in 2024, competing at Grand Prix Marbella, where she took 25th place in the all-around.[9]
In 2025, she began her season at the Sofia World Cup in April, where she took 37th place in the all-around. She was most successful with hoop (19th place). Then she competed at the Tashkent World Cup and took 25th place in the all-around and 15th with hoop. At the French National Championships in Paris, she won gold in the all-around in front of Lily Ramonatxo.[10][11] In the finals, she won gold with hoop and silver in the clubs and ribbon finals.[12]
In June, Millon represented France together with Lily Ramonatxo at the 2025 European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia. She placed 16th in the all-around final.[13] She and Ramonatxo took 8th place in the team competition together with the senior group. On 17-19 July, she took 17th place in the all-around at the 2025 Summer Universiade in Essen. She qualified to the hoop final, finishing 6th.[14]
