Update - BBC TV coverage, WAG European Gymnastics Championships

By
More information is now available about the BBC's coverage of the upcoming European Championships. In addition to the red button transmissions which I listed earlier (details repeated below) there is now also terrestrial TV on BBC1 on Saturday 19th May.


Red button :

Saturday 12th May 14.00 - 16.30 European Team Gymnastics

Sunday 13th May 12.45 - 16.30 European Team Gymnastics (12.45-16.00 on Freeview)

BBC1 :

Saturday 19th May, 14.30 - 16.30

Do please check these details in your local guides and make sure you are not missing out; they may be incomplete, or the timings may change.  I'm afraid that the information given on the BBC website is minimal - I will take a guess that the red button on Saturday and Sunday will cover Team Finals (Saturday) and EF (Sunday) live.  There may be some repeats or highlights factored in, explaining the rather long duration on the Sunday.

The BBC's website does not suggest that the live red button programmes will be available terrestrially and I would be grateful if you could keep your eyes open for this and post updates in comments - I will be doing the same!

The Saturday 19th May coverage will most probably be a two hour highlights package.

Sergei Starkin - 'My job is to bring Aliya back to the best in the world'

By
Sergei Starkin, then coach to Denis Ablyazin and now coach to both Denis and Aliya Mustafina, at the 2012 Olympics.  Courtesy of the RGF The latest news, that Aliya Mustafina now has a personal coach - not just a personal coach, one of Russia's best coaches, Sergei Starkin - was only released yesterday.  Since then we have heard from Vladimir Zaglada on the implications of this change - and now Sergei Starkin himself has spoken to Natalia Kalugina.  The following English language summary of the article is as close as I can get to the original, though please be aware that I will have to paraphrase where the translation isn't clear; this is not a word for word translation. Back in early December, when Aliya Mustafina turned to Sergei Starkin and asked him to work with her, there was talk about why a men's coach should work in the women's sport.   This is despite the fact that Starkin began his professional life as a women's coach.  His best known gymnast
