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.

Remembering last summer - Nelli Kim, her judges and Viktoria Komova

In view of Nelli Kim's recent interview , Lupita and I thought it timely to revisit the performance of some of the WTC President's judges over past competitions ... this article from 27th August 2012 is reposted here, as a reminder. You will find a link to the FIG's newly published book of results at the Olympic Games here .  This year, they have broken down the judge's execution scores so you can see exactly how each judge evaluated the gymnasts' performances.  It makes for interesting reading - if only I had more time to analyse each judge's marking.  A skim reading already highlights multiple inconsistencies in individual judges' marks and makes you wonder why they bother with the jury at all. I have taken the time to look at the reference judges' scores for the top four in the women's all around.  The FIG explains here what their role is, and how they are selected.  I even used my calculator, which is a risky thing in my hands.  M

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.

Review of Russian WAG at the 2014 World Championships

The Russians during a team talk in training for the World Championships.  Courtesy RGF Bronze all the way for Russia then.  Beyond the euphoria and surprise of this morning's competition there doesn't really seem to be much to write home about. I am delighted for Aliya personally that the efforts she has made to help the team have provided her with some tangible result, but the principal feeling at the end of the competition is that of relief.  As Vaitsekhovskaya said in her article last week, there were no moments of shock and awe from the Russians, and that's what will be needed if they are to compete for gold medals in Rio (translation available here ). Let's consider a timeline of the competition : before, during and after. BEFORE The promise of a return to the Worlds stage by Viktoria Komova gave Russia a feeling of optimism pre-Russia Cup.  However, Viktoria's performance at this important competition gave little reason for celebration.  Ye
