Olympic Hopefuls competition, Penza, 21st-25th June

By
This annual national competition for Russian junior boys and girls will take place in the Burtasy School of Gymnastics, Penza, with the main competitions on the 22nd and 23rd June.  As soon as I find any startlists, results or pictures, I will post links.

Glad to see that my favourite Russian junior, Maria Kharenkova, gold medalist in the team, beam and floor competitions at the recent Junior European Championships, features on the poster!

    Interesting, hope to see videos etc of this. I know very little of the juniors who are coming up in the ranks, and Russia needs more depth in seniors.

    The last time they had no technical problems with the broadcast video it was obviously a trick
    I wonder what they were trying to hide ?

      Did you manage to get access this time round?
      I think that the RGF website just could not cope with the volume of traffic last time ... there are plenty of videos available on Youtube - see my post on results for links.

'We were a new team, all the girls are young, and it's their first time in such a serious competition.  I think today we performed to the best of our ability.  Yes, we have had two falls today - on the uneven bars and balance beam.' 'The young girls failed  psychologically, but  the first time you compete on the senior podium - it's not very easy.  No  one is sad.  I  am very pleased with such a performance.  Everything  was fair enough, maybe not everywhere and in all things, but overall it was quite as expected, both our rivals, and the judging.'
