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.

Viktoria Komova - 'In general, I'm rarely sad' - interview with Sports Express

By
Courtesy of the RGF/Seda_tutkhalyan_fans on Instagram Viktoria Komova interview by Vladimir Ivanov, Russian language source -  http://www.sport-express.ru/artistic-gymnastics/reviews/884027/ The World Champion told Sports Express' correspondent about her expectations right before her first international competition in three years. At the Youth Olympic Games 2010 in Singapore Victoria Komova won three gold medals.  The athletics legend Yelena Isinbayeva was so inspired by Vika's performance that she ran to congratulate her on all the successes.  A year later, Komova won gold on the uneven bars at her first World Championships and in the fight for the AA lost by a paltry 0.033.  Viktoria cried.  There were no tears a year later when the Voronezh athlete was considered favourite for Olympic gold in the all-around.  But an unfortunate mistake in the vault meant that she could not beat the American Gabrielle Douglas.

By
Aliya in her new Olympic Games outfit.  The teams were kitted out at the Bosco Olympic centre in Moscow last week 'Europeans went quite well, for me personally and for the team.  There were no big blunders or falls and we were able to show a good result.  If we continue to work in the same way as we approach the Olympics, everything will be fine ... Although of course we will need to do a little more in Rio.  For the Olympic Games, everything will be right. 'My knee [Aliya suffered a torn meniscus for which she had surgery last November] is all right, there are no problems with it, I am not worried. 'We will try to fight for first place. But we will be happy with any medals . As usual, our main rivals will be the teams of America, China and the UK. 'It will now be very, very difficult to fight Simone Biles [in the AA] because she has a very large D score. In general, in the individual competition, my goal is just to perform well. The most important thing in the Olymp...

Neutral gymnasts are being transferred for doping tests

By
Sports Express reports (Google translate) ‘Russian gymnasts whose applications were sent to the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) to obtain neutral status have begun receiving notifications about their transfer to the international registered testing pool, a source in the Russian national team told SE. Being in such a pool is a mandatory condition for obtaining neutral status. Of the 3,000 francs that must be paid for reviewing each athlete's application, 1,500 go to anti-doping tests, for which the athlete must be included in the international pool.’ https://www.sport-express.ru/artistic-gymnastics/news/rossiyskih-gimnastov-nachali-perevodit-v-mezhdunarodnyy-pul-testirovaniya-2293100/
