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.

Anna Pavlova interview - YOU ask the questions

By
Anna with her team mate Maria Nekrasova today.   Maria competed in this spring's Russia Cup and will join Anna on the Azerbaijan national gymnastics team.  Picture courtesy of the Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation on Facebook. As Anna prepares to compete at this week's Voronin Cup, representing Azerbaijan for the first time, RRG, in collaboration with Anna's authorised website Anna Pavlova Online, would like to invite readers to submit their questions for an interview with Anna.  What have you always wanted to ask one of Russia's best gymnasts of the last decade? Each reader may submit up to three questions.  We will collate and if necessary edit the questions and Anna will answer the ones she finds most interesting.  Please add your questions as comments to this blog, or you may email them to me at rewriterussiagym@btinternet.com.  We hope to publish the final interview on both websites by Christmas. Many of you must dream of having a conversation with Anna...

Simone and the others - results and reflections

By
In the end, it was as predicted : Simone and the others, with Simone's teammate, Alexandra Raisman, providing the back up.  I do not need to point out that, by definition, the Americans are scoring significantly higher marks than the rest of the field.  Congratulations to them! Aliya Mustafina finished in third place.  The 2012 bronze medalist led the competition after vault and uneven bars, but had a very nervous outing on beam that might have taken a less experienced gymnast out of the medals.  A bravura performance on floor brought Aliya back though to confirm her third place all around.  From her senior debut in 2010 to today, Mustafina has continuously set high standards of grace.    It is the first time since 2000 that a gymnast (Amanar) has medalled in the all around at two consecutive Olympics, and  if Aliya can medal on Saturday's uneven bars final, she will once again be Russia's biggest medal winner of the women's gymnastics.  Russ...

Mustering up that musty magic

By
Moments after qualifying for the team, AA and UB finals, Aliya gave a short interview to Elena Vaitsekhovskaya for Sports Express.  The accompanying pictures tell as much as the words. Asked about her fall from beam, Aliya said, 'I have forgotten about it already.  There is no point in remembering it.' 'It was very hard waiting for the competition to begin; I could only just bear it.  Every morning, I wake up with the same thought, wanting it all to be over as quickly as possible,' said Aliya. Asked about her bars performance, where she scored the highest of all to date, Aliya said, 'Can I tell you a secret?  It was me who did it!'      Team captain, consoling a disappointed Angelina Melnikova     The life of a champion is essentially a solitary one, when it comes to the hard moments of competition.     Seda Tutkhalyan is the top Russian qualifier in the AA Source - Sports Express.ru
