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!!

    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.

Tatyana Nabiyeva on work and love in China

By
Some highlights from a long interview with 2010 World champion Tatyana Nabiyeva.  Source: Russian team page on VK.com.  Translation - Google translate A big interview with Tatyana Nabieva about the peculiarities of work and life in China, the bright years of her sports career, a little about modern gymnastics and about love. On the Nabiyeva flight — At the same championship, you presented a new element on the bars, which was later added to the rules with your last name (flying over the top bar with a straight body, difficulty group F. — Sport24). How did you come up with the idea to try something new? — Actually, it happened spontaneously, I think. We worked with Vera Iosifovna [Kiryashova] on the purity of the elements on the bars, sometimes I didn’t fly all the way to the Shaposhnikova element. Once I didn’t fly all the way to the bars either and stood on my feet between the bars, bending my legs in flight for safety. Then Vera Iosifovna said that this was a different eleme...

Men's team results : Russian national championships

By
Full results are available here . In summary, 1    Moscow    (Olennikov, Garibov, Gogotov, Bondar, Stolyarov, Ablyazin)    261.55 2    Siberia       (Devyatovski, Pakhomenko, Ignatiev, Cherkasov, Golutsotskov  259.85 3   Central       (Barkalov, Nyudakin, Markelov, Perevoznikov, Bondar, Ignatenkov   255.00 Interesting - Mikhail Bondar appears to have competed for two teams simultaneously here - Moscow and Central - not sure how this works but quite pleased with myself for noticing it ;-)  Only his high bar score counted for the Central team.  One of the wonderful mysteries of Russian gymnastics.  Hopefully we'll have the women's team results later.  And perhaps I'll discover something even more wondrously mysterious there.  Who knows.

Who needs difficulty? Portraits of a young gymnast - Ivan Stretovich

By
These pictures of young Ivan Stretovich, taken by Elena Mikhailova at last week's European Gymnastics Championships, are available in a gallery at the Russian Gymnastics Federation website.  I wanted to share a sequence of them with you. Stretovich turns 16 in October, and comes from Novosibirsk in Siberia, where he is coached at the Dynamo club by B Konvissar.  This young gymnast emerged at April's Russian Championships, where he took gold or silver medals in every event final except for vault.  In Montpelier, he contributed to the Russian team's silver medal. But pictures speak louder than words, and medals aren't all that matters.  Stretovich's start values (in qualifying 5 (F), 5.1 (PH), 4.8 (SR), 5.4 (V), 5.1 (PB) and 4.9 (HB) leave some room for development, but the special quality of his work is even rarer than a double twisting double back somersault.  That quality is the ability to elevate the simple to a pitch of perfection, and to make the diff...
