Rodionenko: if our boys were not mistaken, could be in the top three.
Head coach of the Russian national gymnastics Valentine Rodionenko analyzed the causes of the failure of Russian gymnasts in the team competition at the World Championships in Nanning.

    "The first five teams in the final team tournament were equal. But when Ladder comes in three protruding athletes can not be wrong. And our - wrong. First Nikita Ignatyev mistake on the uneven bars, and very well. Then the horse wrong Nikolai Kuksenkov. And yet ... What we said to the finals: who makes a mistake - one of the three will not fall. None of the teams that are ahead of us, not wrong. After all, our children are very worthy program. I can not understand what's going on with the guys. It seems that Nikita Ignatyev not a beginner, an experienced athlete. We will analyze and talking. In my opinion, after qualifying was incorrect installation - just to be in the eight. After all, in the final of the first five teams are located so as came out of the training. And the judges formed a certain impression from which it is difficult to escape. We still subjective judging. Of course, if our boys were not mistaken, could be in the top three.

    The team was ready to fight for the third place. At the Olympics - 2012 we were sixth, at the World Cup before the Games - the same six. Now become the fifth. Advanced only at one place. It is very unfortunate. The guys are ready, they correspond to the potential of the program of struggle for the prize. And it is impossible. There is a lack of confidence. It is difficult to understand why our guys are uncertain. Forgotten how to win, or what? Here there is no assurance that we should be in the money! None of this. And how is it to invest, I do not know "- quoted Rodionenko agency" All Sport ".

‘My daughter likes gymnastics. For us, this is the big success’. Aliya Mustafina talks to Match TV

By
Via VK.com.  Google translate A big interview with Aliya Mustafina was published on MATCH!. We provide a small excerpt below, and the full version is available on the website at the link below  ❓ Aliya, you are now the head coach of the junior artistic gymnastics team. What does your typical day look like? 💜 My current life is similar to what it was when I was competing. In the morning, I have breakfast and go to work by 9:00, we train for four hours, have lunch, rest and train for another three hours. During the training camp, the athletes live at the base. They live and train on the same territory. ❓ Do you manage the gymnasts' personal trainers or do you evenly distribute the responsibilities? 💜 We work in contact with the personal trainers, I listen to their opinions. For example, if the trainer believes that their athlete needs to be given a little rest or do fewer repetitions of a particular exercise, we do so. ❓ Describe the current generation of children. Do they nee...

Who really won the WAG All Around?

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.  My, how I wish we could have seen a similar document for the Tokyo World Championships. I wonder if anyone can explain how, if the FIG's Code of Points is so objective and fair, it is possible to come up with two different results using two differ...

Denial of visas - some background

By
Can I remind everyone interested in Russian gymnastics that the restrictions imposed on Russia following its state-sponsored doping scandal were quite separate from the restrictions introduced following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? The Russian doping scandal came to prominence in 2016, while WADA imposed further sanctions in 2019. Although these sanctions restricted Russia’s participation under its national flag, they did not impose a blanket ban on Russian gymnasts. Athletes who met the relevant eligibility requirements were still permitted to compete. Artistic gymnastics has historically recorded relatively few positive doping tests, and Russian gymnasts were not collectively excluded from international competition as a consequence of the doping scandal. Russian gymnasts therefore continued to compete at the Olympic Games and major international championships, including the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. The situation changed in February 2022, following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukra...
