BBC transmission schedule - Artistic Gymnastics

By
2010 World Champion Aliya Mustafina




Thanks to the BBC, we have free wall to wall coverage of the artistic gymnastics at this year's Olympics. Only the podium training remains as a last, unfortunate, omission from mainstream TV.

If you have Freeview/Freesat, take a look at your TV guide and you will see 24 extra channels where the various Olympic sports will have their homes. This week's Radio Times has a comprehensive guide to all the channels from which I'll extract the information as to where you can watch the gymnastics. The teams competing in the qualifying sessions are listed according to the order in which they will compete on the apparatus. For the men, this means Floor, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars and High Bar. So, for example, in the first qualifying session Britain will be beginning their efforts on Rings, progressing next to vault etc etc. For the women, the rotations begin on vault, then uneven bars, then beam, then floor.

All times given are local London time

    I'm afraid I'm not sure Katie - I would check your Sky guide if you can. I've offered the BBC coverage up as it seems to be comprehensive - and accessible for free to all TV licence payers in the UK.

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...

By
  A fabulous short interview via VK.com.  Google translates. 🎵 "End of the year to Rihanna? Possibly!": Angelina Melnikova on plans to update the program Angelina, when did you start training this year? 🎙 "I started training in January." What is your current training regimen?
