As ever, the run-up to the World Championships provides a rich source of media on Russian Gymnastics. Thanks to the Russian Gymnastics Federation for providing the links below:
Tulsa news - Ksenia Afanasyeva will compete at the world championships
Moscow Live - 12th September - Maria Paseka returns (Russian language version) English language version
Antonova, Ksenia (date and publication unknown) 'Nikita Ignatiev: Soldier's Son'
There is also now an entire section of the RGF site dedicated to the World Championships where a link to the official site including the full schedule of competition including working order for qualifications can be found.
'Arms Race' Russia 2 video on Sportbox including the Russian men in training, including brief conversations with Andrei Rodionenko, Konstantin Pluzhnikov and Anton Golutsotskov. Addresses the increasing levels of difficulty in the sport and training methods.
Interview with Alexei Nemov on Russian programme 'All Inclusive', discussing the prospects of the Russian gymnasts at the forthcoming world championships.
Thanks also to Fulltwist who located this undated but apparently recent video ('The thorny path to golden moments') showing footage of Mustafina and Dementieva training. There is also a brief conversation with Alexander Alexandrov.
As ever, if anyone is able to offer translations of vital interesting information in these videos, we would be interested and grateful to hear your comments.
