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.

Melnikova withdrawn from Bundesliga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...

Remembering last summer - Nelli Kim, her judges and Viktoria Komova

By
In view of Nelli Kim's recent interview , Lupita and I thought it timely to revisit the performance of some of the WTC President's judges over past competitions ... this article from 27th August 2012 is reposted here, as a reminder. You will find a link to the FIG's newly published book of results at the Olympic Games here .  This year, they have broken down the judge's execution scores so you can see exactly how each judge evaluated the gymnasts' performances.  It makes for interesting reading - if only I had more time to analyse each judge's marking.  A skim reading already highlights multiple inconsistencies in individual judges' marks and makes you wonder why they bother with the jury at all. I have taken the time to look at the reference judges' scores for the top four in the women's all around.  The FIG explains here what their role is, and how they are selected.  I even used my calculator, which is a risky thing in my hands.  M...

Breaking news - Stretovich in, Ignatyev out

By
Valentina Rodionenko earlier today confirmed that Ivan Stretovich will take the place of Nikita Ignatyev on the main Russian gymnastics team.  19 year old Stretovich, from Novosibirsk, Siberia, is Russian Cup champion on the pommel horse and high bar.  His first major senior competition was the 2014 World Championships where he performed on pommels only.  Stretovich was originally selected as a reserve and the decision to bring him onto the main team was based on his superior performance quality compared to Ignatyev, according to Rodionenko. For the women, the news is that Angelina Melnikova is recovering well from the hamstring injury she aggravated at one of the final control competitions at Round Lake.  Valentina says that she is back to training her full routines again.   Sources - MAG - http://rsport.ru/rio2016_gymnastics/20160802/1011352078.html WAG - http://rsport.ru/rio2016_gymnastics/20160802/1011409100.html New - video of the girls training, ...
