Media links - results of this Saturday's competitions

By
Competitions are underway - both the French International (World Cup Category 'A') and the Jesolo Cup, which embraces both senior and junior teams.

There is a live blog of the French International finals at the Gymnastics Examiner, now (14.00 GMT).

I am grateful to the All Around Forum (Albert) for links to the results of the Jesolo Cup :

Senior team

Senior all around

Not a great competition for the Russian girls who came third as a team behind the USA and Italy, but then again this was a very inexperienced team.  Belokobylskaya was the top Russian girl all around in 7th place.

The Couch Gymnast carries a report of the junior competition, which the USA won by a clear margin over the Russian juniors, with Italy in third.  Anastasia Grishina won the bars title, and piibunina provides a video of her routine.

Full results of qualification for the Paris World Cup event are here.  With only four gymnasts competing in each final, it's anyone's guess who can win, but I'll update with a link to the results as soon as they are available.  Albert points to the videos available on eipos24's Youtube channel.

Enjoy!

The National Olympic Committee of Belarus held a press conference with three-time Olympic Champion in artistic gymnastics, Svetlana Boginskaya. The meeting was devoted to the 25th anniversary of the Olympic Games in Seoul. In South Korea the Belarussian won two gold medals in the team competition and vault. As a gift to the Olympic Hall of fame, the famous gymnast, now living in the United States, donated one of her trophies that she won at the 1990 European Championships and a pennant for Best Female Athlete of the USSR in 1989. How happy we were when we could share with such stars as Boginskaya, Scherbo, and Ivankov,...

Natalia Yurchenko - an exclusive interview

By
Natalia wins gold at the World Championships in Budapest, 1983 1983 World Champion Natalia Yurchenko speaks directly to readers of RRG in this exclusive interview.    Early years: In the summer of 1976, at the age of 11, I was accepted to a sports boarding school in Rostov-on-Don. I remember it was a 4-level building with the cafeteria on the first floor, academic classrooms on the second floor, rooms for girls on the third floor and rooms for boys on the fourth floor. There was one TV on the ground floor and the kids who stayed at school over the summer (about 20-30 kids), were able to watch the Olympics. Nadia Comaneci’s outstanding performance made us feel jealous because usually the Soviets were the unbeatable favorites. We did feel some relief with amazing performances from Nellie Kim and Ludmilla Tourischeva. Besides Ludmilla, there was a gymnast from Rostov-on-Don, Svetlana Grozdova! And, we were really thrilled to see the very little and cute Maria Fi...
