Anna Dementyeva - Balance Beam Champion?

By
Alfi writes :

I found on Youtube Demy's BB routine that scored her 15.600 in EFs. Goodness, it is super packed. If she cleans up the minor balance checks, she will definitely get gold in any competition. Please spread the word.

Thanks Alfi, here's the video.  Enjoy, and comment!

    Muito bom mesmo, amo as russas e adoro Dementieva, Mustafina e Komova, mas tem uma americana que tem mais de 7 de D score, o nome dela é Katelyn Ohashi e eu gostaria muito de ver as Russas bem na balance beam, assim como são perfeitas na UB. Love Russia!!

    Google translate from the Portuguese :

    Very good indeed, and I love, love the Russian Dementieva, Mustafina and Komova, but there is an American who has over 7 D score, her name is Katelyn Ohashi and I would love to see the Russian well in balance beam, as are in perfect UB

    It seems like they are working on the upgrades for the whole of the Russian team. I hope the Rodios dont mess it up.

    Fingers crossed.

    Is there any confirmation that this is her EF beam? I highly doubt that this routine scored a 15.6, unless there is some sort of bonus involved. The D-score of this routine is just a 5.9.

UPDATE 23/9 - Russian WAG team for Nanning confirmed

By
Daria Spiridonova will compete at her first World Championships this autumn.  Picture : RGF Natalia Kalugina has confirmed the Russian team for Nanning : Aliya Mustafina, Maria Kharenkova, Tatiana Nabieva,Ekaterina Kramarenko, Alla Sosnitskaya, Daria Spiridonova.  Reserve : Polina Fyodorova Here is a paraphrased translation of a comment by Natalia Kalugina on her Facebook page : 'Aliya has confidence in competition and she is, kind of, a coach to this team.  In Europe she succeeded in this role and she has told the coaches that she even liked it. The main fighting force will be Kharenkova, Sosnitskaya and Spiridonova.  Accordingly, the strongest apparatus will be beam (Marina Bulashenko With God!).  The Chinese women, of course, have been known to win that apparatus, but if one falls, they all fall.   Alla Sosnitskaya could compete in the vault final, and - in theory - on the floor. On bars, of course, Russia will probably lose to the Chinese women, but the...

Angelina Melnikova and Arseny Dukhno - Results from Serie A competitions in Italy

By
  Russia's neutral gymnasts have been performing very well in competition recently, not least at the Cottbus Cup last week where a fairly inexperienced group of young women took medals on every piece - and their men did well, too. The team is still in the position where its veterans, or at least its established performers, are the leaders.  For the women, this means that Melnikova is assumed to be the top, while for the men, Marinov is the one whose name is most likely to be spoken.  But he is still recovering from multiple injuries and not expecting to be ready for competition until later in the year.  In fact the leadership of the men's team has skipped a couple of generations: first year senior, Arseny Dukhno, is taking the lead for the team. So while the youngsters head off to the World Cup competitions to make a name for themselves there, the leaders are competing in the Serie A league in Italy - and they aren't doing too shabbily there.  Both Melnikova and...

The sad demise of artistic gymnastics

By
This picture, of 1985 Soviet World Championships team member Irina Baraksanova, is a symbol of what is now lost to gymnastics as a whole, and Russia in particular.  Black and white, the picture was taken at another time when imagery came at a premium, technology was simple and memory and emotion played an important part in documenting sports history.  A similar picture taken today might be more colourful and have a sharper focus, but lack the nostalgic significance, the scope to challenge the imagination.  For all its lack of precision and technical sophistication, this box brownie snap captures the feeling of a unique moment.  Baraksanova, in common with many of her team mates, used floor exercise to tell an enigmatic and gentle story built on line, air and just a little bit of acrobatic magic.  The position of the head, the asymmetry of the position, the downcast eyes, all speak to me.  She combined grace and power, innovation and tradition to make the ...
