By
MAG team captain, Emin Garibov, will return to full training in January after a break to rehabilitate a shoulder injury

Albert Starobutsev of Tass has confirmed via an interview with head coach Valeri Alfosov the status of gymnasts competing for the senior national team.  In addition to the return of the two stars Garibov and Balandin, he also explained that Russia's only gold medallist at the recent Nanning World Championships, Denis Ablyazin, is resting following an operation on his nose.  He also gave details of Russian participants at some upcoming end of season competitions.

'In April this year, Garibov had an operation on a sore shoulder.  This was a serious surgical procedure and excluded the possibility for the gymnast to compete this season. Balandin also has  problems with the shoulder joint, and had to undergo surgery shortly before the World Championships in China, which was held in early October.'
 
'Balandin will begin to train only at the beginning of next year', - said Alfosov.  'We hope to see him back on the team in January. He is now at home undergoing rehabilitation after surgery and is in close contact with his doctor. As for Garibov, he is now based at "Round Lake." He is slowly trying his hand on the equipment, and will be back in full training from January 2015.'

Denis Ablyazin is now also missing workouts. "He just recently had surgery on his nasal septum and tonight returned from Germany', he told Tass. 'He is missing the current team camp, but in December will resume training at Round Lake'.

Russian men's team camp began on October 26th. After this, Nikolai Kuksenkov and David Belyavski will travel to Stuttgart, Germany to perform at the Challenge Cup. Women's team leader Aliya Mustafina, and Alla Sosnitskaia will also represent the team
.
'Three more of our athletes will be performing at the same time in another tournament, which will take place in Germany.   And we will always have a couple of the strongest gymnasts at the December Voronin Cup which will be held in Moscow' - added Alfosov.

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.  ...

Listunova interview

By
 Google translate from VK.com -  Match TV talked to Victoria Listunova about the Olympic summer without participating in the Games, recovery, and memories of Tokyo three years later. We are copying several fragments, and the full interview is available on the Match TV website ❓ Victoria, how are you feeling? How was your recovery from the injury? Was it an old problem or some kind of force majeure? 💬 The injury may have been cumulative, it was not immediately revealed, I am now trying to train in the same volume as before. I am restoring my program. It took a long time for rehabilitation. From April until mid-summer, I was completely without loads, so that the injury would heal and never bother me again. But it is not like I was resting all summer. I was constantly present at the training camps, went through all the recovery procedures. At first there was complete rest, then I trained as much as possible without pain. So there were trainings, but in a minimal mode. In the sum...
