Russia Cup concludes - results and video

Sunday's event finals concluded with five golds awarded to five different gymnasts: Viktoria Komova (beam), Aliya Mustafina (floor), Denis Ablyazin (vault), Konstantin Pluzhnikov (rings) and David Belyavski (parallel bars). Komova and Mustafina were the most decorated female gymnasts in Penza, finishing with two golds each, while the strongest performance in the men's competition came from David Belyavski, who took three.  Also emerging during event finals, after a shakey start, is this spring's Russian Champion, Nikita Ignatyev, who takes home two golds and a bronze.

  1. I swear it's only Anya who can get into 9's in execution on floor these days.. stunning.
    Our Olympic teams have been chosen well, I reckon. A bunch of little fighters really. Cannot wait to see them go

  2. They are on the right track. They just need to clean up their routines, and add whatever else they are going to and just have some self belief.

    Musty has that fighter spirit - really like that about her. Didn't have a good floor in the all around but came back and did great in the event final.

Virtual tour of Lake Krugloye

Ksenia from Russia wrote to me as follows : 'I decided to write about a little update on this site .  Suddenly you do not know but you may be interested in "The virtual gym" where you can see the training center for gymnastics at the "Round Lake" A very interesting thing if you want to look into what's inside.' She is right - it is fascinating - with tours of both the men's and women's gyms, pictures of the coaches and gymnasts, and all the different areas, including a reception with displays of awards and the rehabilitation and recovery facilities.  Take some time to click on the arrows and try out all of the different features.  It is in Russian but the tools are reasonably intuitive and if you have a basic grasp of the Cyrillic alphabet you can make sense of the whole. Scrolling round the panorama makes me feel a little bit dizzy and also gives a slightly distorted perspective to some of the views, which I think is a characteristic...

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...

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... I am so sorry. I want to apologize for my character to all of you". Vika, we are still with you every step of the way.
