    There were beautiful pics. It was nice to see them in a different environment. I wonder why Nabs was outside, lol.

    BTW here is an interview with Ksenia's coach, of course I have a vague idea because of google translate but we all know how that is, lol

    We need Lupita (sorry if I spelled wrong name) to translate that article. We all want to know what Marina says. We see her all the time with the gymnasts at competition. We barely get to know this coach. I believe she will be the main coach in London as well. I hope we get a translation soon :)

By
From sport.ru via vk.com.  Google translate  A big interview with Anastasia Loginova from Sport24 with Lyudmila Roshchina following the Strongest Cup, where the gymnast won four out of five gold medals. We quote several fragments, the full version is available on the publication's website, link at the end. ❓ The Strongest Athletes Cup has recently ended. Did you have time to analyze your performances? 💬 I just rewatched the broadcast, looked at my shortcomings. ❓ Did you set a medal plan for this start? 💬 I didn't think about it. Only that I needed to do my program - and then what will happen. ❓ Did you have time to discuss the competition with your coach? 💬 She praised me, said that I was great. She didn't scold me for mistakes on the beam - on the contrary, she supported me. ❓ Can we say that the beam is your weak spot? This is the only final you didn't get to. 💬 Probably yes. I have this apparatus that is a bit unpolished, so to speak. Treacherous. I need to work...
