Media link to Voronin Cup all around and team results/pictures of recent Russian Gymnastics Federation conference ;-)
Einselka at the all around forum provides this link to details of the all around and team results at the Voronin Cup.
In the meantime, the Russian Federation has found time to revamp its website which is now far more colourful than before. I am particularly excited to see a page of pictures of a recent conference at which the Federation President, Andrei Kostin was re-elected. Everyone looks very worried in these pictures, and I am tempted to invite a caption competition for pictures number 4 and 8. Have they cut Rodienenko's head off?
There are second and third pages of these pictures, including some which are temptingly labelled with officials' names. However, for some reason the site refuses to play with my computer tonight and I have been unable to refer to them a second time to enable any form of comment. I blame the weather, but then surely Russian websites should be able to cope with a little snow?
It is clear that Russian sports are very male-centric at the administrative level, despite the predominance of their female gymnasts in world sport, and the fact that many of the girls' coaches are now women.
I also feel forced to raise the important question, whatever happened to Alexei Nemov's dress sense? Is he going the same way as Alexandrov?
