Misha's first senior international competition was the 2006 Commonwealth Games where at 14-years-old he became the youngest New Zealand male to compete at a Commonwealth Games. He qualified for the all-around final and one month later won New Zealand’s first medal at a junior Pacific Alliance Championships.   

These early international achievements trigger a notion that a bright gymnastic future lays in store for this young man who is coached by his father.  

Misha has lived in New Zealand for 9 years. He attends Westlake Boys High School and trains for 28 hours per week.
