Aliya Mustafina - floor

By
Luchinho84 has been uploading videos of today's podium training onto his Youtube channel.

Here is Aliya Mustafina's floor from earlier today.



Latest news: Nabiyeva may well not compete all around after a low landing (to her head) on a floor tumble. She says she is determined to compete, but does not know in what capacity. She is injured, but not seriously.

Fingers crossed that her health is good. And good luck, again, to the whole team.

    Does anyone know what qualification subdivision each of the girls will be competing it? USA gymnastics is streaming it but only the ones with the Americans, and i'd like to know if any of the more important Russian girls are going to be in those subdivisions or not. No point in watching if they wont be :)

    Rodionova went yesterday, and Nabiyeva would have gone today with Mustafina, but couldn't. Paseka is out, so I do not think we will see any more Russian WAG in PT. You would need to check the full working orders from the FIG website to be certain, though.

      I said qualifications but I am going to assume that the girls will be in the same subdivisions as PT right? Thanks!

    It's unfair to Mustafina to carry the burden of a whole team, I mean medalling in AA + 4 Apparatus finals, and after that she will get no gratitude from the Rodionenkos ...She's one gymnast team right now and all that because of the lame policy of the Rodionenkos.
    If there is any one cares for that team, then it Must be the last worlds under the Rodionenkos' supervision ... and I hope it's the beginning of the end for them.

      I know what you are saying but I don't think it would be different even if Afan, Grish and Vika were on the team. I am sure that Musty was always going for maximum medal haul, its not like "Oh now that its just me, I have to win all the medals". Do you know what I mean? The coaches always expect the girls to do their best regardless of who their teammates are. I am sure they would be equally as disappointed in Musty if she did not compete well, if Vika and the others were on the team. If it seemed like they were pushing Musty to compete an event or skill she wasn't ready for, that would be a problem. But she looks 100% up for the task.
      That being said I agree 10000000% about the Rods, they have GOT to go it Team Russia is going to become a powerhouse again.

We are satisfied - Aliya Mustafina

By
Photo credit: RGF An Allsport interview today with Aliya Mustafina : http://www.allsportinfo.ru/index.php?id=83075 'I think that we are to be congratulated on this bronze medal, we are more satisfied than frustrated', said Aliya Mustafina. 'We were a new team, all the girls are young, and it's their first time in such a serious competition.  I think today we performed to the best of our ability.  Yes, we have had two falls today - on the uneven bars and balance beam.' 'The young girls failed  psychologically, but  the first time you compete on the senior podium - it's not very easy.  No  one is sad.  I  am very pleased with such a performance.  Everything  was fair enough, maybe not everywhere and in all things, but overall it was quite as expected, both our rivals, and the judging.' 'I began to experience more pain in the ankle - continued Aliya Mustafina. - To do the dismounts I had to muster all my strength and clench my teeth.  ...

And now she works as a coach at the Anton ...

Listunova interview

By
 Google translate from VK.com -  Match TV talked to Victoria Listunova about the Olympic summer without participating in the Games, recovery, and memories of Tokyo three years later. We are copying several fragments, and the full interview is available on the Match TV website ❓ Victoria, how are you feeling? How was your recovery from the injury? Was it an old problem or some kind of force majeure? 💬 The injury may have been cumulative, it was not immediately revealed, I am now trying to train in the same volume as before. I am restoring my program. It took a long time for rehabilitation. From April until mid-summer, I was completely without loads, so that the injury would heal and never bother me again. But it is not like I was resting all summer. I was constantly present at the training camps, went through all the recovery procedures. At first there was complete rest, then I trained as much as possible without pain. So there were trainings, but in a minimal mode. In the sum...
