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.

Photo credit: RGF An Allsport interview today with Aliya Mustafina : http://www.allsportinfo.ru/index.php?id=83075 'I think that we are to be congratulated on this bronze medal, we are more satisfied than frustrated', said Aliya Mustafina. 'We were a new team, all the girls are young, and it's their first time in such a serious competition.  I think today we performed to the best of our ability.  Yes, we have had two falls today - on the uneven bars and balance beam.' 'The young girls failed  psychologically, but  the first time you compete on the senior podium - it's not very easy.  No  one is sad.  I  am very pleased with such a performance.  Everything  was fair enough, maybe not everywhere and in all things, but overall it was quite as expected, both our rivals, and the judging.' 'I began to experience more pain in the ankle - continued Aliya Mustafina. - To do the dismounts I had to muster all my strength and clench my teeth.  ...

Viktoria Komova - back pain has forced me to step down

I awoke this morning to a very simple statement from Viktoria Komova, on her vk.com site, which Papa Liukin has translated (via the IG forum): 'Dear friends, fans, and gymnastics lovers. Unfortunately back pain isn't allowing me to train to my full potential and get ready for competitions. I've made the very difficult decision to stop training and take care of my health. I want to thank everyone for their support! Without your love and warmth it would've been more difficult to go all the way. Thanks everyone and see you soon! Love and kisses.' Well, first of all, good wishes and best of luck to Viktoria, who has struggled since 2012 to re-establish herself fully as a competitive gymnast, whose talent was so great that she secured gold on bars at two different World Championships, four years apart, whose career was littered with controversy, who must be allowed to live her life as she wishes.   I know that the 'gymternet' will now be overflowing...
