Viktoria Komova wins four golds at the Voronin Cup

By

Olympic all around silver medallist Viktoria Komova confirmed her continuing presence in gymnastics today at Moscow Dynamo's Voronin Cup with a strong winning performance leading to four golds - all around, floor, bars and beam.

In the junior competition national team member Evgeniya Shelgunova also did well, securing gold medals overall, on vault and on floor, while Maria Bondareva sealed a recent comeback to competition with silver all around and gold on bars and beam.

In the men's competition there was strong international rivallry with Russia's Andrei Cherkasov coming out on top in the senior all around and Japan's Takumi Sato taking the junior.  Olympic team member Denis Ablyazin achieved a gold medal on floor but was forced to settle for bronze on vault behind Britain's Kristian Thomas.   The junior men's apparatus saw Japan and Britain sharing the gold, with Frank Baines taking home three gold medals to add to his silver in the all around.

Full results are available at the Dynamo website. 

There are some videos of the competition at this Youtube channel.

A note on the competition format.   * indicates an international performer whose all around score appears out of sequence, but reflects the finish in the international all around.  In the individual apparatus finals, participation seems to have been limited to this international field so there are no such inconsistencies.

I am assuming that earlier results released (from Friday) which showed Kharenkova as second to Shelgunova in the all around related to the team competition which took place.  If anyone knows better, please post a comment.

We are satisfied - Aliya Mustafina

By
Photo credit: RGF An Allsport interview today with Aliya Mustafina : http://www.allsportinfo.ru/index.php?id=83075 'I think that we are to be congratulated on this bronze medal, we are more satisfied than frustrated', said Aliya Mustafina. 'We were a new team, all the girls are young, and it's their first time in such a serious competition.  I think today we performed to the best of our ability.  Yes, we have had two falls today - on the uneven bars and balance beam.' 'The young girls failed  psychologically, but  the first time you compete on the senior podium - it's not very easy.  No  one is sad.  I  am very pleased with such a performance.  Everything  was fair enough, maybe not everywhere and in all things, but overall it was quite as expected, both our rivals, and the judging.' 'I began to experience more pain in the ankle - continued Aliya Mustafina. - To do the dismounts I had to muster all my strength and clench my teeth.  ...

Viktoria Komova - back pain has forced me to step down

By
I awoke this morning to a very simple statement from Viktoria Komova, on her vk.com site, which Papa Liukin has translated (via the IG forum): 'Dear friends, fans, and gymnastics lovers. Unfortunately back pain isn't allowing me to train to my full potential and get ready for competitions. I've made the very difficult decision to stop training and take care of my health. I want to thank everyone for their support! Without your love and warmth it would've been more difficult to go all the way. Thanks everyone and see you soon! Love and kisses.' Well, first of all, good wishes and best of luck to Viktoria, who has struggled since 2012 to re-establish herself fully as a competitive gymnast, whose talent was so great that she secured gold on bars at two different World Championships, four years apart, whose career was littered with controversy, who must be allowed to live her life as she wishes.   I know that the 'gymternet' will now be overflowing...

Russian trampolinists have been granted neutral status and will compete in Baku, says Titov

By
 Google translate via TASS The Russian Gymnastics Federation (RGF) continues to wait for a response from the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) regarding the neutral status of Russian athletes. This was told to journalists by the First Vice President of the Russian Gymnastics Federation Vasily Titov. 💬"Due to the sensitivity of this process, I cannot say much, we have submitted an application for 100 people to receive neutral status, now we are waiting for an answer," Titov said. "Trampoline gymnasts will be the first to go to the World Cup in Baku, I hope that artistic and rhythmic gymnasts will also have this opportunity. Due to sanctions, we were suspended from FIG tournaments for a long time, but there was still international practice. Our teams are very ready." From February 22 to 23, Baku will host the first stage of the Trampoline World Cup in 2025. At the end of last week, athletes Arina Kalyandra, Alexandra Lyamina, Sergey Finchenko, Maxim Didenko a...
