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.

Simone and the others - results and reflections

By
In the end, it was as predicted : Simone and the others, with Simone's teammate, Alexandra Raisman, providing the back up.  I do not need to point out that, by definition, the Americans are scoring significantly higher marks than the rest of the field.  Congratulations to them! Aliya Mustafina finished in third place.  The 2012 bronze medalist led the competition after vault and uneven bars, but had a very nervous outing on beam that might have taken a less experienced gymnast out of the medals.  A bravura performance on floor brought Aliya back though to confirm her third place all around.  From her senior debut in 2010 to today, Mustafina has continuously set high standards of grace.    It is the first time since 2000 that a gymnast (Amanar) has medalled in the all around at two consecutive Olympics, and  if Aliya can medal on Saturday's uneven bars final, she will once again be Russia's biggest medal winner of the women's gymnastics.  Russ...

Paseka back in time for Rio; Komova confirmed out

By
A few sources in the Russian press have reported Russia's team news.  There is a little bit more information about Viktoria Komova's retirement, or rest break, and some good news about Maria Paseka. The news came clearly from Viktoria's own mouth - I cannot link to the video - and has now been repeated and clarified by her father.  Viktoria has stopped training because of the pain in her back.  There is no chance of her making it to Rio now but if she recovers she may come back later.   Valentina Rodionenko says unequivocally that Vika has retired, but this doesn't have to be taken as a contradiction, just a simpler version of the picture.  (I personally think that retirement is probably right - but why say never?  However, I would feel sorry for Viktoria if she were not being allowed to make her own decisions.) The good news is that Maria Paseka will be competing at Russia Cup - she has recovered from her back pain and is making her way towards qualificat...

A Geopolitical Overview of Artistic Gymnastics in Russia

By
This is the first of a piece about Russia in general, that I'll be trying to improve and complete over the coming year.  Please bear with me and leave me comments!  I want to try to put Gymnastics into context with its past, and with everything that has happened in the past ten years.  It seems to me that things are changing fast. Russia has the largest single landmass of any country in the world, spanning Europe to the Far East, from way up north towards the Arctic and the Barents Sea, down to the border with Georgia in the south.   The country shares land borders with seventeen other nations from Norway to Japan, China and Korea; it shares maritime borders with countries including the USA and Alaska.   Russia's population is very diverse - see the table below.  Over 80% of the population have Russian as their first language, but it's likely that many will have a second language that they speak at home.  It's a declining population, and desp...
