Russian Championships 2014 - Junior team results

By
Central Federal District gymnasts Ekaterina Sokova and Angelina Melnikova were Russian team mates in Canada earlier this year, are now shining in their country's national championships

Central Federal District (drawing on three gymnasts from Viktoria Komova's home town, Voronezh) beat last year's winners Moscow to today's girls team competition.   Volga General District, whose most famous team member is the graceful Anastasia Dmitrieva, took the third team position for a bronze medal, ahead of St Petersburg.

There was an outstanding performance from Voronezh's Angelina Melnikova, who will turn 16 in July 2016 and was a medallist at the recent Gymnix International Junior Cup.  Melnikova scored a competition high 15.2 on beam, and also leads uneven bars and floor with scores of 14.8 and 14.537 respectively.  Muscovite Seda Tutkhalyan delivered the highest vault score of 14.733.

Working under the Russian Junior code, Melnikova totted up an impressive all around score of 58.767.  In second place came the powerful Seda Tutkhalyan with a score of 58.  These scores represent a significant improvement over last year's competition where the winning total (Maria Bondareva) was 56.  In Penza today, the top seven gymnasts cleared an all around total of 54, which only two gymnasts managed last year, perhaps suggesting more depth amongst this exciting up and coming generation.  Third and fourth places were taken by Anastasia Dmitrieva and Daria Mikhailova. 

These junior gymnasts will now look forward to the junior all around competition on Friday, and event finals on Sunday.  Complete results can be found at the Russian Gymnastics Federation's website, http://www.sportgymrus.ru/Admin/GetFile.ashx?get=1&id=43137.

    Will the candidate master of sports and master of sports categories be separated during the AA finals on Friday? I think they did that last year right? Also I was wondering how much the Russian junior code is different from the FIG junior code? That would be a really interesting read, if you could find that out. Thanks for the nice read. :)

    Yes, I think they will be separated. So perhaps, judging by age, we have Npmelnikova and Tutkhalyan leading the CMS and Mikhailova and Dmitrieva the MS categories respectively.
    I think the Russians do award bonus for those elements and factors of performance they want to encourage ... I would live to carry the story you suggest - can anyone help?

    I checked the results again on the left of their names it says MC and KMC, so I think Melnikova and Tutkhalyan are in the MC category too, then Sokova and Eremina would be leading the KMC right? I haven't calculated all the results but that's what I deducted from the document haha. :) I have been diving into the RGF website over the last hour or so but I haven't found a document about the junior categories unfortunately. :(

‘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...
