In the UK, the BBC has finally confirmed its schedule of coverage, which isn't bad if you have red button.  See below.  I have already posted information and links to online and TV coverage elsewhere in Europe - please follow this link.

      I will likely miss this for family reasons also. In the website it says it will be in Iplayer, but you had better double check for yourself. Also, if you have freesat, there is a channel (981 I think) from which you can record the transmission on your box.

Tatiana Gutsu interview

By
1992 Olympic Champion, Tatiana Gutsu, is a Ukrainian gymnast (from the city of Odessa) who competed for both the USSR and Ukraine during her senior competitive career from 1990 to 1992.  She was the first in a new generation of gymnasts who brought an ultra high level of difficulty to their work; in fact some of Gutsu's innovations have yet to be repeated, in particular the split leg double layout tumble on floor which remains exclusively hers.  Vault was her least spectacular apparatus, but on bars, beam and floor, Gutsu led the field with fast, powerful and original work.  She flew recklessly through her bars routine, showed not an ounce of fear in a non stop beam routine.  Her 1991 floor work, full of intricate choreography and ultra powerful tumbling, was under-rated and is largely, and rather unfairly, overlooked in the history books of the sport.  She was the epitome of the Soviet ground-breaking gymnast, performing single skills of very great difficulty...

Neutral gymnasts are being transferred for doping tests

By
Sports Express reports (Google translate) ‘Russian gymnasts whose applications were sent to the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) to obtain neutral status have begun receiving notifications about their transfer to the international registered testing pool, a source in the Russian national team told SE. Being in such a pool is a mandatory condition for obtaining neutral status. Of the 3,000 francs that must be paid for reviewing each athlete's application, 1,500 go to anti-doping tests, for which the athlete must be included in the international pool.’ https://www.sport-express.ru/artistic-gymnastics/news/rossiyskih-gimnastov-nachali-perevodit-v-mezhdunarodnyy-pul-testirovaniya-2293100/

Natalia Yurchenko - an exclusive interview

By
Natalia wins gold at the World Championships in Budapest, 1983 1983 World Champion Natalia Yurchenko speaks directly to readers of RRG in this exclusive interview.    Early years: In the summer of 1976, at the age of 11, I was accepted to a sports boarding school in Rostov-on-Don. I remember it was a 4-level building with the cafeteria on the first floor, academic classrooms on the second floor, rooms for girls on the third floor and rooms for boys on the fourth floor. There was one TV on the ground floor and the kids who stayed at school over the summer (about 20-30 kids), were able to watch the Olympics. Nadia Comaneci’s outstanding performance made us feel jealous because usually the Soviets were the unbeatable favorites. We did feel some relief with amazing performances from Nellie Kim and Ludmilla Tourischeva. Besides Ludmilla, there was a gymnast from Rostov-on-Don, Svetlana Grozdova! And, we were really thrilled to see the very little and cute Maria Fi...
