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

By


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)


Wednesday, 13th June: WAG Team Final and qualifications - competition begins at 14.45 (first round) and 16.30 (second round) and ends at 18.00

Friday, 15th June: WAG AA (16.30-18.30)

    There has been a change to the program:

    The competition continues today with the women’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/ )

    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 she’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 ?

      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.

    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

‘I was worried about how I would be received’ - Angelina Melnikova

By
Highlights of an interview with Angelina Melnikova, three days after her appearance in Paris, via Vk.com.  She departs for the Russian Championships in ten days.   Sport24 correspondent Anastasia Loginova contacted Angelina and asked her about everything that happened in Paris.  ❓When did you find out you were going to Paris? 💬Just before my vacation in China, around July 25th. I was told there was a stage and I should go. At first, I was very hesitant, because I wanted to focus on the Russian Championships and the World Championships qualifiers. It turned out that I was selected for the Paris trip. Initially, we wanted to focus on a few apparatuses, but then we decided we needed to do the all-around as one of the stages of preparation for the Russian Championships. ❓At what point did you realize what was happening wasn't a dream, but reality? When did this realization dawn on you? 💬Probably when I went to the airport. I realized that everything had finally come togethe...

Svetlana Boginskaya: I was always a bitch* in gymnastics

By
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,...

Melnikova’s personal grace

By
  Angelina Melnikova is not only an ambitious gymnast, she also wants to pursue acting as part of her career.    This picture came with congratulations on her medals in Paris, from one of her agents. I can see real determination in her face - it must have taken a lot of courage to put herself in the public eye at a time when the international environment is uncertain and unpredictable, and her own country is at the centre of chaos.   Sport is about bringing people from different cultures together, to appreciate human achievement and celebrate respect, competition and, wherever possible, friendship.    This gymnast has remained consistent in her pursuit of excellence since childhood, and she has persisted in the most difficult of circumstances, with incredible personal grace.    She is down to earth, charming and professional, a real example to everyone.    The circumstances have been very trying, but you would never see Angelina sho...
