By
The Russia Cup begins today with the men's team competition and qualifications for all around and event finals.  It all should be over by around 6 pm Penza time.

Russian star Anton Golotsutskov is out of the Russia Cup - but hopes still to be in contention for the Olympics.  Picture courtesy of the RGF.

Latest news is that Olympic medalist, vault and floor specialist Anton Golotsutskov is out of the competition because of back pain.  This does not rule him out of Olympic contention.

Maxim Devyatovski (former European Champion (2007),Russian champion (2008), and Russian team member at many international competitions) will compete independently at the Russia Cup and if he achieves good results will be in contention for a place on the Olympic training squad, said national team coach Valery Alfosov.

David Belyavski, a Russian hope for the all around in London, is suffering with a pinched nerve in his shoulder.

I am constantly scouring the internet for news and evidence of online streaming - but have found nothing so far.   Rest assured I will post anything I find as soon as I possibly can, but can't always find everything - I am always very grateful for prompts which you can leave for me as comments.

    Don't panic! This happened the last time the RGF did live streaming ... they did get their technical issues sorted out by the second day, so fingers crossed for the women's competition ...
    I'll be in a meeting tomorrow so will miss the live streaming :-(

Dmitri Andreev - we are building towards long term goals

By
  Dmitri Andreev, Russia’s gymnastics leader now that Andrei Rodionenko has stepped into an advisory capacity, is a long standing national coach and well respected international judge.  Now, as gymnastics in Russia steps forward onto the international arena once more, (via its neutral athletes, coaches and officials), it’s up to Andreev and his team to support and structure the growth and development of gymnastics.   Russia’s first big goal as neutral athletes is to qualify for the Olympics at the October World Championships.  Many of the gymnasts have limited experience on the big stage.  The necessary placements are therefore a big ask - especially emotionally and psychologically.   Here is how Andreev sees things working. 1. Transition Phase: Building Toward Major Goals The Russian team is in a deliberate rebuilding and preparation phase. Early-season competitions like the Russian Cup serve more as evaluation tools than peak performances. The primary o...

Nelli Kim - 'Russian gymnastics has closed in on itself' - Lupita translates

By
Lupita has translated this ITAR-TASS interview with Nelli Kim.  It's controversial, to say the least. Ed's note : much of the initial response to this interview - both here and in the wider gymternet -  has focussed on the detail of Kim's words and especially her comments about Viktoria Komova, and smiling.  But I think these have to be taken in context, and not too literally. Don't forget that just a day ago Andrei Rodionenko complained bitterly about the judging in Antwerp, calling Kim's behaviour 'aggressive'. Kim is responding to this here, and to the wider current context of Russian gymnastics.  What she is essentially saying to the Russian coach is 'get your own house in order, produce confident, disciplined, well trained gymnasts - stop complaining, do your job, and I will do mine.'   She goes about saying this in a somewhat long winded way and says some things along the way that seem contradictory, unfair, inappropriate even for th...

Andrei Rodionenko explains Russia's performance at Worlds - Lupitatranslates

By
Rodionenko with European Champion David Belyavski  Courtesy RGF/Elena Mikhailova This is the interview that many people on the internet have already commented on, regarding Andrei Rodionenko's alleged racism.  The original, Russian language version, appears on VTB Bank's website (VTB are sponsors of Russian gymnastics).  It takes cleverer people than me to decide what is racism, what is deliberately perjorative, and what is inferred in an interviewer's question.  For now, I will not comment on this, therefore, but I would ask you to read Lupita's translation carefully before you form your own opinion.   I am providing some links below which might help you to decide where you stand.
