Nabieva - silver on bars - but it could have been gold!!

Tatiana Nabieva gave a good account of herself today, recording 4th place in the vault final and a creditable silver on bars.  But in an interview with Sports Express, Tanya suggests that her silver could have been gold had she connected two of her special skills - I'm guessing she means her own version of the Tkachev and the Pak somersault.

Viktoria Komova - apology

Viktoria wrote some hasty words last night in the heat of the moment.  We all have such times, when hurt feelings lead us to behave uncharacteristically.  It is not important what she said; it is important that Vika has reflected and wants us all to read this message which she published on VK.com this morning. "Dear friends! I want to apologize for my statements about American girls, about drugs, all my words were spoken on emotions. Of course I haven't any proof and didn't really mean it and so on...
