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 all love her very much’ - Roschina speaks of Mustafina and the need to perfect an Amanar vault

By
From sport.ru via vk.com.  Google translate  A big interview with Anastasia Loginova from Sport24 with Lyudmila Roshchina following the Strongest Cup, where the gymnast won four out of five gold medals. We quote several fragments, the full version is available on the publication's website, link at the end. ❓ The Strongest Athletes Cup has recently ended. Did you have time to analyze your performances? 💬 I just rewatched the broadcast, looked at my shortcomings. ❓ Did you set a medal plan for this start? 💬 I didn't think about it. Only that I needed to do my program - and then what will happen. ❓ Did you have time to discuss the competition with your coach? 💬 She praised me, said that I was great. She didn't scold me for mistakes on the beam - on the contrary, she supported me. ❓ Can we say that the beam is your weak spot? This is the only final you didn't get to. 💬 Probably yes. I have this apparatus that is a bit unpolished, so to speak. Treacherous. I need to work...

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...

AA Champion Liudmilla Roschina targets Olympic gold

By
  Liudmilla is the first gymnast of the new generation to win AA in the most important international competition in Russia.  The Krasnodar born gymnast was at one time said to be the favourite of head coach of the junior team, Aliya Mustafina.   Source: gymnastics group on VK.com.  Google translate Lyudmila Roshchina shone at the "Strongest Athletes Cup" in artistic gymnastics in Moscow.  🔝 The 17-year-old gymnast became the absolute champion in the all-around and in individual disciplines, winning the vault, parallel bars and floor exercises!  "I am very pleased. There were small mistakes, but they did not prevent me from showing a decent result. I liked the atmosphere of the competition, the full stands helped when I went out on the apparatus. I love all the apparatus, but especially the parallel bars. And, of course, it was interesting to test myself against foreign rivals. In September, the Russian Championship will be held, I want to perform there at ...
