Russia sports fans of the world unite!

Russia is investing heavily in sports and tourism development at present and recognises its fans as an important resource.  A UK based company, Eventica, has developed a brand for Russia sports with the aim of unifying the forces of Russia's fans world wide and at home.

Eventica's brand, developed on behalf of the Russian Olympic Committee
"Sportslab Marketing together with Eventica Communications are proud to have developed an entirely new concept brand for the Russian Olympic Committee – ‘Team Russia’. This dynamic new brand is designed to unite sports fans and citizens of Russia in one unified community, with the aim of increasing team spirit and support for Russian sport and sportsmanship. The ultimate goal of the project is to create a brand that allows everybody to share the dream and passion for top-level sport in Russia.It is an ambitious task, which requires a truly inspirational brand identity. Sportslab Marketing and Eventica Communications have reached this goal with the creation of the Team Russia concept.

As we researched and devised the unique Team Russia branding, we examined dozens of options from the banal to the extraordinary. Our challenge was to create a brand symbol that unified the whole, diverse Russian nation, and our solution was to look to the Russian people: we analysed photo and video reports of great Russian sport events, and we observed the different symbols used by the fans on the stands: a bear, a double-headed eagle, a tricolour flag. Russians choose for themselves the symbols that inspire them. We took the classic Russian motif of the bear and turned the people’s choice into a contemporary and meaningful brand.

As with all brands, the Team Russia identity will evolve and develop – and Sportslab Marketing and Eventica will be there every step of the way."

There are plans for some significant Russian cultural activites this summer in London - further evidence of Russia's awareness of its global sports appeal as a diplomatic and business opportunity.

‘We all love her very much’ - Roschina speaks of Mustafina and the need to perfect an Amanar vault

From sport.ru via vk.com.  Google translate  A big interview with Anastasia Loginova from Sport24 with Lyudmila Roshchina following the Strongest Cup, where the gymnast won four out of five gold medals. We quote several fragments, the full version is available on the publication's website, link at the end. ❓ The Strongest Athletes Cup has recently ended. Did you have time to analyze your performances? 💬 I just rewatched the broadcast, looked at my shortcomings. ❓ Did you set a medal plan for this start? 💬 I didn't think about it. Only that I needed to do my program - and then what will happen. ❓ Did you have time to discuss the competition with your coach? 💬 She praised me, said that I was great. She didn't scold me for mistakes on the beam - on the contrary, she supported me. ❓ Can we say that the beam is your weak spot? This is the only final you didn't get to. 💬 Probably yes. I have this apparatus that is a bit unpolished, so to speak. Treacherous. I need to work...

Simone and the others - results and reflections

In the end, it was as predicted : Simone and the others, with Simone's teammate, Alexandra Raisman, providing the back up.  I do not need to point out that, by definition, the Americans are scoring significantly higher marks than the rest of the field.  Congratulations to them! Aliya Mustafina finished in third place.  The 2012 bronze medalist led the competition after vault and uneven bars, but had a very nervous outing on beam that might have taken a less experienced gymnast out of the medals.  A bravura performance on floor brought Aliya back though to confirm her third place all around.  From her senior debut in 2010 to today, Mustafina has continuously set high standards of grace.    It is the first time since 2000 that a gymnast (Amanar) has medalled in the all around at two consecutive Olympics, and  if Aliya can medal on Saturday's uneven bars final, she will once again be Russia's biggest medal winner of the women's gymnastics.  Russ...

There were small mistakes, but they did not prevent me from showing a decent result. I liked the atmosphere of the competition, the full stands helped when I went out on the apparatus. I love all the apparatus, but especially the parallel bars. And, of course, it was interesting to test myself against foreign rivals. In September, the Russian Championship will be held, I want to perform there at ...
