Maria Paseka training in Spain

By
As you will probably know, the Russian WAG team has travelled to Mallorca for their annual active recreation. Aliya Mustafina, Viktoria Komova, Anna Dementyeva, Tatiana Nabieva and Maria Paseka are there, amongst others - a full list of the names to be confirmed. (Anastasia Grishina has had minor surgery and is travelling to Cyprus with her mother.)

The girls are working out their competition commitments for the coming months, with Anna planning to appear in Mexico in October, and Aliya beginning her assault on the next Olympic cycle in December in Stuttgart. They return to Moscow tomorrow, 17th September.

Meantime, Maria Paseka has been hard at work on the apparatus and is evidently preparing new skills for uneven bars and floors. See the video below and reflect on the nascent brilliance demonstrated. Markelov to Gienger combination? That's exciting stuff!!!

    She looking really good.

    I also glad to see Tatiana Nabiyeva there, she's a little inconsistence but when she's on Tatiana is really good, she could be a good player on UB (wonder if she will be doing the Nabiyeva again, that move is mind blowing!) and Vault. I also appreciate her sportsmanship she always seems to be rooting for the team and every individual team member; in fact what I miss during the Russian team from 2012 (EC and OG) was the team cohesion from the 2010(I miss seeing Semenova, Nabiyeva, Mustafina, Kurbatova, Afanasyeva "antics" on the apparatus' sideline when one of the other girls was performing) there's a chemistry between the 2010 team as a whole that seems to be absent in the 2012 team.
    Speaking of Afan, wasn't she supposed to be in Spain too? is there any news about her?

      Nice seeing Paseka, even if she was falling left and right. It seems she is trying to improve her uneven bars as well.

      Nice seeing Nabs in the background, good that she is still doing Gymnastics.

ā€˜My daughter likes gymnastics. For us, this is the big successā€™. Aliya Mustafina talks to Match TV

By
Via VK.com.  Google translate A big interview with Aliya Mustafina was published on MATCH!. We provide a small excerpt below, and the full version is available on the website at the link below  ā“ Aliya, you are now the head coach of the junior artistic gymnastics team. What does your typical day look like? šŸ’œ My current life is similar to what it was when I was competing. In the morning, I have breakfast and go to work by 9:00, we train for four hours, have lunch, rest and train for another three hours. During the training camp, the athletes live at the base. They live and train on the same territory. ā“ Do you manage the gymnasts' personal trainers or do you evenly distribute the responsibilities? šŸ’œ We work in contact with the personal trainers, I listen to their opinions. For example, if the trainer believes that their athlete needs to be given a little rest or do fewer repetitions of a particular exercise, we do so. ā“ Describe the current generation of children.

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...

Svetlana Boginskaya: I was always a bitch* in gymnastics

By
Svetlana Boginskaya, 15 years old, with her medals from the Seoul Olympics Nico translates the latest interview with gymnastics legend Svetlana Boginskaya, during a recent visit to her home country of Belarus. Svetlana Boginskaya: I was always a bitch* in gymnastics, so now I ask for forgiveness from everyone who came in contact with me. The National Olympic Committee of Belarus held a press conference with three-time Olympic Champion in artistic gymnastics, Svetlana Boginskaya. The meeting was devoted to the 25th anniversary of the Olympic Games in Seoul. In South Korea the Belarussian won two gold medals in the team competition and vault. As a gift to the Olympic Hall of fame, the famous gymnast, now living in the United States, donated one of her trophies that she won at the 1990 European Championships and a pennant for Best Female Athlete of the USSR in 1989. How happy we were when we could share with such stars as Boginskaya, Scherbo, and Ivankov,...
