Videos of Round Lake National Training Centre ('Ozero Krugloye')

By
Not so very long ago, the Russian national training centre was rarely seen in the public eye. Now, thanks to the investment of VTB who have helped the Russian Gymnastics Federation to create a state-of-the-art training facility complete with all the latest rehabilitation equipment, Russia invites us to learn more about the training centre. The following videos were shot in April, before the European Championships, as part of the press tour that is recorded on this blog on April 14th and 15th. There is also, of course, the virtual tour of Lake Krugloye. Along with last week's Russia 2 documentary, this provides a fascinating insight into the daily environment of the men and women of Russian gymnastics.

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.

'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.

The most important thing in the Olymp...
