WAG Voronin Cup results, 2012

By
Fan favourite Anna Dementyeva took three golds in Moscow this December

The Russian Gymnastics Federation has now published the full results of this competition which I will  reproduce below (WAG first, MAG in a separate post).

I think the most significant outcomes are the junior women where Evgeniya Shelgunova, who turns senior next year, took the gold in the all around and beam.  Maria Kharenkova, who will train with the seniors next year but won't have senior competitive eligibility till 2014, also rounded out the year nicely with a silver in the all around and a the gold medal on floor.

It is good to see Dementyeva pick up some gold (gold all around in the senior competition, and gold on bars and beam where she scored 15.6 with an SV of 6.6).  With Anna Pavlova taking silver in the all around and golds on floor and vault, this must have been a pretty competition to watch.  Olympic team members Komova and Mustafina were present and appeared on individual apparatus, though as exhibition performances.  I wonder though why Moscow-based Anastasia Grishina did not compete?

    To be fair, none of the Olympic participants didn't compete, Aliya and Komova did bars but I haven't seen anything about Ksenia or Maria either, unless I am mistaken, so I doubt Grishina would compete.

    Nice to see Dementieva getting in form.

    Shelgunova is a very promising soon-to-be senior.

    "I am sure for Olympic Games we will have two--probably three--like Komova. And, of course, we will beat them." - Andrei Rodionenko (circa 2011 World Championships)

    For a newly minted senior hitched to a wagon of soaring expectations, Grishina's performance at London Prepares seemed promising, and Mr. Rodionenko's statement eerily prophetic. Who dreamed this starlet would return to Greenwich Arena--to the London Games--completely disheveled?

    When it comes to Grishina, no news is probably good news. If anyone needs privacy and ample time to recover, it is this poor girl.

    ANNA PAVLOVA!!! If she improves some of her beam, floor, and vault, than she could make to next years worlds.

      Anna does not train with the national team and Andrei Rodionenko has said that this is because her knee injury excludes her from the hard training necessary on the national team.
      I understand the enthusiasm that people have for Anna's gymnastics; and she often seems stronger and more consistent on vault than many of those on the current national team - however, I would be surprised to see her qualify for any of those top level competitions.
      Did you see the interview with her in International Gymnast recently where she discusses the situation on the national team?

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. Everyone deserves equal opportunities in all areas of life, and every athlete deserves to compete equally in the sports arena and fulfill their dr...

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
