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 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/ )

  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 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 ?

    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

Aliya Mustafina - 'each medal is very special'

'I'm very happy that everything turned out well today  ... Each medal is very special.  The UK team made mistakes, so there was a wide margin [of victory]... But naturally, [what I did] is not enough for the Olympics.  I prepared well for beam and bars but I am not ready for floor, I stepped up to help the team. ... To be honest, I did not look at the scores [when asked how the team reacted to the 6.5 gap before the final apparatus].  Gelya (Melnikova) is a good girl, she did everything and did not falter ... Seda fell on quite a complex element.  There is more work to do, but everything else went well.' [About a protest taken by the coaches on her beam score]. 'I am used to my protests being rejected, everything is normal!' Via vk.com I n other news , the UEG has confirmed that Spiridonova will replace Melnikova in tomorrow's bars final. No reason is given, but it is generally considered that Dasha has a better chance of gold.  This decision also means tha...

Andrei Rodionenko explains Russia's performance at Worlds - Lupitatranslates

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.
