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.

Melnikova withdrawn from Bundesliga

By
  Angelina Melnikova has issued a statement about her participation in the Bundesliga.     The mayor of Chemnitz has withdrawn the gymnast’s invitation to participate in the final.     Angelina’s words: ‘I didn't receive an invitation to the Bundesliga final. Unfortunately, the public attention and political discussions were much greater than the organizers expected. I am grateful to TSV Tittmoning-Chemnitz for the opportunity to participate in the semi-finals and, most importantly, for their respectful and kind attitude. In Germany, I received tremendous support from spectators, athletes, coaches, and referees. A sports arena is a place where athletes meet each other and demonstrate their abilities in their favorite sport. Sport provides the opportunity to showcase the results of their hard work and athletic prowess.

Ksenia Afanasyeva takes retirement

By
Leading Russian gymnast since 2007, Ksenia Afanasyeva has retired from gymnastics for medical reasons, reports Alexei Fililov from R Sport.   Valentina Rodionenko explained that Ksenia has a serious kidney illness. She is in hospital and will take not just days but weeks to recover. Afanasyeva is not just a brilliant gymnast but also a kind, humourous and intelligent team captain.  Her presence will be missed by both spectators and fellow competitors in Rio. Ksenia's place on the Russian team travelling to Rio on Sunday will be taken by the experienced and well prepared Evgenia Shelgunova. RRG would like to wish Ksenia a full recovery.  Get well soon, Ksenia and we will look forward to hearing about your next steps in your new life. http://m.rsport.ru/artist_gym/20160721/993115276.html
