Valery Alfosov: how much work - dream to beat the Chinese and Japanese
In Nanning (China) hosted the world championship in gymnastics. Been played 14 sets of medals. The Russian national team won six medals - one gold and five bronze. Results of performance men's team to the special correspondent of the Agency of sport information "All Sport" Mary Staroverova summed senior coach Valery Alfosov.

- Finally, we got to the house, - Valery Alfosov breathed. - The flight from Nanning took more than a day. 10 days ahead of the rest. Need to recover from China itself. Almost all of the athletes and coaches there a strong cold. Everywhere there were just mad conditioners that really blew. But without them it does - too stuffy. Well at least that in the last week on the mainland the wind blew in from the ocean, humidity is gone, it became easier. Already on 26 October, we are going on our database "Round Lake" and continue to work. On 24 October a meeting of the Presidium of the Russian Gymnastics Federation. Report back to the present head coach of Russia. Participation of senior coaches are not supposed to be. Seniors and personal trainers will only speak, agree or disagree with the plan of where povedёm of a sportsman on.

- The guys have time to relax in the 10 days?
- We do not have clear lines of seasons. Previous flows seamlessly into the next. Need to prepare new programs, learn new elements. And then for someone to start the World Cup. No more rest. Who is over the so-called active competitive level, and we gradually move to training, start preparing the program in 2015. So everyone is doing. In November and December, will spend two recovery fee. December 21 to disperse a small vacation. A Jan. 5 meet again - and will continue to work.

- New programs begin to set in January?
- No, I'm on it right away. Will reconvene on October 26 will hold a general meeting, puzzled all (smiles). Personally discussed more in China, who is working on what will work. This also applies to all-rounders and specialists in separate shells. Have a lot of individual work. Especially after the World Cup, there are clear guidelines for the work. The first world championship in the Olympic cycle is always very important. He shows how to prepare contestants for what your team is capable of. Everything falls into place. We can not say that the World Cup in Nanning gave us some puzzles or surprises.

- Speech of Russian men's team at the World Cup you evaluate how successful?
- It is. It is impossible, of course, to say that we are fully satisfied. But the guys were good. At the end of the season won gold and bronze. Prior to that, completely won the European Championship. We have many different kinds, somewhere everything turned out great, somewhere - medium, and somewhere - frankly did not work. Of course, it would be desirable that all worked out once for all, and to all the shells. I, as a senior coach, this dream! How much work - dream to beat the Chinese and Japanese. But has not yet formed. And after such starts, like the World Cup, the picture becomes clearer. It is important to understand that the modern gym - so complicated that ordinary athlete simply will not. World champions in individual shells - are unique athletes. They are, in principle, in each country, each team one by one. They show superprogram at a high level. The average athlete to win a medal is very difficult. And our team every gymnast is talented in their own way, you only need to give time to develop.

- After the World Cup a lot of criticism that the men's team loses to world leaders from the outset, on the base assessment.
- That's not true! Baseline estimates we are the same as, for example, the Japanese team. We compare and discuss the base. Even without thinking ... At Japan in the final team championship on the crossbar - the projectile, which we considered to be not very strong - Yusuke Tanaka had a base of 7.0 points, and our Kohl Kuksenkov 7.0; Kohei Uchimura - 6.5, our Nikita Ignatyev did at 6.6-6.7; third Japanese gymnast - 6.4, our David Bielawski 6.3. Well, where do we lose ?! And so I can paint all the shells. Need not assess unfounded, but to pick up the documents and compare. Many people, especially the older generation, still live yardstick of the Soviet Union. But earlier it was 15 republics, one talent of each - that's you and two or three bench. But now things have changed - the world, the life of the country, people, approaches, attitudes. Need to live in reality, not in the Soviet Union.

Virtual tour of Lake Krugloye

Ksenia from Russia wrote to me as follows : 'I decided to write about a little update on this site .  Suddenly you do not know but you may be interested in "The virtual gym" where you can see the training center for gymnastics at the "Round Lake" A very interesting thing if you want to look into what's inside.' She is right - it is fascinating - with tours of both the men's and women's gyms, pictures of the coaches and gymnasts, and all the different areas, including a reception with displays of awards and the rehabilitation and recovery facilities.  Take some time to click on the arrows and try out all of the different features.  It is in Russian but the tools are reasonably intuitive and if you have a basic grasp of the Cyrillic alphabet you can make sense of the whole. Scrolling round the panorama makes me feel a little bit dizzy and also gives a slightly distorted perspective to some of the views, which I think is a characteristic...

Mustafina, Melnikova and Afanasyeva - Russia’s three divas train together to the tunes of Michael Jackson

M elnikova, Mustafina and Afanasyeva take creative control at Round Lake.     You can see the video on Angelina Melnikova’s YouTube channel. They are discussing a new floor routine for Angelina; she wants to dance to Michael Jackson. Afanasyeva, 2012 Olympic medalist and a world champion on the floor, has been a choreographer for the national team for a few years now.    She says, ‘Gel, first we need to understand the plan—what we’re actually doing.’ They discuss how many tumbles Angelina will perform, and where the tumbles will come in the routine.    Angelina says, she likes ‘Billie Jean’, it’s her favourite … But Afanasyeva has other ideas, linking into the dance shapes she has seen in a video: ‘Thriller . Start with  Thriller . It begins with that image, right from the beginning when it starts.’    She shows us the dance. ‘I suggest taking a 1.5-minute or 1-minute segment of the dance directly.’ They promise to be in touch by email. ...

Andrei Rodionenko explains Russia's performance at Worlds - Lupitatranslates

Rodionenko with European Champion David Belyavski  Courtesy RGF/Elena Mikhailova This is the interview that many people on the internet have already commented on, regarding Andrei Rodionenko's alleged racism.  The original, Russian language version, appears on VTB Bank's website (VTB are sponsors of Russian gymnastics).  It takes cleverer people than me to decide what is racism, what is deliberately perjorative, and what is inferred in an interviewer's question.  For now, I will not comment on this, therefore, but I would ask you to read Lupita's translation carefully before you form your own opinion.   I am providing some links below which might help you to decide where you stand.
