Russia Cup - to stream or not to stream, that is the question



There is a notice on the RGF website saying that live streaming is cancelled for technical reasons, but we cannot establish whether this is temporary or will be resolved in time for today's WAG competition.

I'm providing here the link direct to the live streaming page - there is still a screen there, with some minimalistic animation, so maybe we will be lucky.  Keep all your fingers and toes crossed.

If I were not in meetings all day today, I would check regularly and update.  I'm worried that the link may change and people will miss out.  By all means, do go to www.sportgymrus.ru and make sure there is no new information throughout the day.

Don't forget the schedule - as follows.  All times are Moscow times (thanks Ksenia)

  1. There has been a change to the program:

    The competition continues today with the womenā€™s team competition at 4:45 pm local time. As opposed to the original schedule there will be only one flight. (from the all around forum: http://the-all-around.com/2012/06/13/russian-cup-khorokhordin-leads-after-qualification/ )

  3. I am bothered by some comment done on one blog

    "They need a fifth all arounder because Grishina has a sore foot, its likely that sheā€™s not gonna be all arounder anymore (knock on wood) and Ksenia Afan has an ankle injury too."

    Is that true? That Grishina will not do all events and thats why she is not compete for real in Penza ?

    1. All any blog or forum poster can do is speculate - until the Russian team confirms its composition and actually turns up in London on the 21st July. There has, to my knowledge, been no official information on Grishina's health, and the Russians do not have to give us full information on their gymnasts all the time.

      I do not know how severe her injury is - it may not in fact be an injury, may just be a sore foot. All gymnasts have to contend with pain at different times. Fingers crossed that it is nothing too serious.

      It looks to me as though Afanasyeva is well on the road to recovery.

  5. It seems to me that all the blogs have math issues. If you add up the scores, it's not Aliya but Vika who leads the competition by approx. 0.1

Nagorny blusters about the return of Russia to international competition

Former Olympic and World Champion Nikita Nagorny spoke to TASS on the 23rd December.   Nagorny speaks for himself here, trashing the IOC/FIG ban on Russiaā€™s participation in international competition and suggesting that world sport is running back to Russia with its tail between its legs, desperate for his countryā€™s return to World and Olympic tournaments. Of course, I personally would like to have the Russian teams back - but only after peace has been restored!  Iā€™ll be delighted if Melnikova, Listunova and their like can secure neutral status to compete as individuals, and I do think that the sport will be the brighter for their originality, technique and artistry.  But the world can do without Nagornyā€™s bullish pretence about the whole situation - which is all very sad and difficult for everyone.   I prefer the RGFā€™s official, calm and professional approach to Nagornyā€™s rather charmless blustering.  The fierce confidence that made Nagorny such an exciting gy...

Svetlana Boginskaya: I was always a bitch* in gymnastics

Svetlana Boginskaya, 15 years old, with her medals from the Seoul Olympics Nico translates the latest interview with gymnastics legend Svetlana Boginskaya, during a recent visit to her home country of Belarus. Svetlana Boginskaya: I was always a bitch* in gymnastics, so now I ask for forgiveness from everyone who came in contact with me. The National Olympic Committee of Belarus held a press conference with three-time Olympic Champion in artistic gymnastics, Svetlana Boginskaya. The meeting was devoted to the 25th anniversary of the Olympic Games in Seoul. In South Korea the Belarussian won two gold medals in the team competition and vault. As a gift to the Olympic Hall of fame, the famous gymnast, now living in the United States, donated one of her trophies that she won at the 1990 European Championships and a pennant for Best Female Athlete of the USSR in 1989. How happy we were when we could share with such stars as Boginskaya, Scherbo, and Ivankov,...

Urazova may not return to national team, says coach Kazakova

It will be very difficult for Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics Vladislava Urazova, who underwent surgery on an injured knee in March, to return to her previous high level. This opinion was expressed to TASS by the athlete's coach Liliya Kazakova. On March 1, Urazova underwent surgery on her injured knee joint during training. šŸ’¬"Vlada was given nine months to recover from the knee surgery, but she is still in pain," Kazakova said. "Vlada must send pictures of her knee to doctors in Moscow, after which she will receive an answer. For now, she is not training and devoting all her time to her studies." "It will be very difficult for her to return to her previous level, especially since very strong young girls are growing up. It is difficult to give more precise forecasts, everything will become more or less clear when she resumes training," the TASS interlocutor added. Urazova is not on the list of candidates for the Russian national artistic gymna...
