International Tournament Daniel D'Amato, Blanc Mesnil, France

By
This weekend in Blanc Mesmil, France, the Daniel D’Amato International Tournament took place.  This is a team and individual competition for boys and girls from Spain, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Russia, and local teams from France.  A list of participants can be found here. 

Full results have yet to be posted on the website but, via the GymNet Forum Albert reports the following results of the girls’ competition:

1        Ukraine
2        Russia
3        Antibes

In the individual competition, Russia’s Yulia Belokobylskaya took first place, ahead of Ukraine's Anastasia Koval and Yevgenya Chernyi.  Well done all!

I will update this post with a link to the full results and any observations, if and when they become available.

23rd November - full results of the all around competition are available here. Team competition - we may have to wait a little longer - still a dead link ...

24th November - well, we do at least have summary results of the team competition - even if the individual scores aren't given - here.  Phew.

Review of Russian WAG at the 2014 World Championships

By
The Russians during a team talk in training for the World Championships.  Courtesy RGF Bronze all the way for Russia then.  Beyond the euphoria and surprise of this morning's competition there doesn't really seem to be much to write home about. I am delighted for Aliya personally that the efforts she has made to help the team have provided her with some tangible result, but the principal feeling at the end of the competition is that of relief.  As Vaitsekhovskaya said in her article last week, there were no moments of shock and awe from the Russians, and that's what will be needed if they are to compete for gold medals in Rio (translation available here ). Let's consider a timeline of the competition : before, during and after. BEFORE The promise of a return to the Worlds stage by Viktoria Komova gave Russia a feeling of optimism pre-Russia Cup.  However, Viktoria's performance at this important competition gave little reason for celebra...

Aliya Mustafina - I competed as best I could

By
Picture credit RGF Aliya speaks in Sports Express http://news.sport-express.ru/2014-05-18/699607 I am very pleased with my performance today, I don't know what the judges didn't like about my bars, but I didn't ask them ... I did my routine fairly well without serious error. On beam I didn't have the start value but I received the highest execution score.  We will try to fix that before the World Championships. Considering the problems I had with my ankle, I think I performed to the optimum at the moment.  I did everything I could. I'm not  the least bit sorry that I performed here -  Very glad that I could help the team. I think my presence made things easier for the girls.   It is very difficult to compete at such serious senior competitions for the first time.  Of course they were very worried.   But I'm sure that with time they will learn to cope easily with their nerves (smiles).

Sport, friendship and the Olympics - reflections on McLaren report implications for Russian gymnastics

By
BREAKING - President Putin on the McLaren report -  http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/52537 What is happening today, is perhaps the end of an era.  The end of an era when sport was truly playful, and international.  Will we ever see our athletes in the same way again? The findings of the McLaren report are devastating to me.  They made me think about the value and meaning of the Olympics.  People have written whole books and volumes of books about the history of the Olympics. I am not going to try to unravel all the different strands of the history of the Olympic movement from the Ancient Greeks to the present day.  I'll just reflect here on the current values of Olympism; you can see below an extract from the new Olympic Charter , which was published in 2015. I certainly am inspired by the values of Olympism; I have followed the Olympics all my life.  But unfortunately it seems that they have been under attack, not just in Russia b...
