Coaches of the world! Pay attention!

By
Vladimir Zaglada drew my attention to a 26th October notice on the RGF website advertising coaching jobs in both the women's and men's divisions of the leading Siberian club in Leninsk-Kuznetsk (named after coach to Maria Filatova, Innokenty Mametiev). 

The advertisement doesn't mention a salary, but the benefits package includes an apartment. 

Any takers?

    Thank you very much, Queen! It seems to me that your post is very helpful Job Advertisement. This is the best way to get straight into the Russian Siberia without any political thoughts. A Winter time in Siberia is the best time of the year in order to understand what does it mean "TO WORK IN RUSSIA as a Gymnastics ( not a Soccer!) Coach". For sure, the Central Heating and warm atmosphere will be guaranteed. All my best to you and possible Lucky Coach from Around the World. Vladimir Zaglada

Svetlana Boginskaya: I was always a bitch* in gymnastics, so now I ask for forgiveness from everyone who came in contact with me.

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,...

Our Nelli Kim : a new documentary

By
Nelli Kim at the 1980 Olympics, courtesy of Nellikim.net I have mixed feelings about Nelli Kim.  She was certainly one of the most talented competitors the Soviet Union fielded in gymnastics, and that is saying something. She harvested first place  all around at the 1979 World Championships, her country's only gold medal in a somewhat disastrous competition for the Soviet women.  (That competition has become a very notorious one in history, if one remembers poor Nadia Comaneci's brave performance despite a serious wrist infection, and the winning Romanian team's sickeningly unhealthy appearance in Fort Worth.) Nelli was also a great performer and character.  Her career overlapped a time of fundamental change in the sport - when the lyricism of such performers as Tourischeva was overpowered by the pyrotechnical advances of the likes of Comaneci.  Nelli managed to reconcile the two qualities, and to span the gap between the two eras.  I don't think she ever r...
