Dmitry Anatolyevich Zherebchenko (Russian: Дмитрий Анатольевич Жеребченко; born 27 June 1989) is a Russian foil fencer, gold medallist in the 2017 World Championships. Zherebchenko was a substitute for Russia's foil team which took gold at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, but as he did not fence in the competition he was not deemed an Olympian and did not receive a medal.[1] His clubs are the Central Sports Army Club [RUS], and the Khimki Fencing Sports School of Olympic Reserve [RUS].
