  1. I'm very excited to see Afanseyva once again as well as the rest of the olympic veterans and world team bronze medalist (for the women). Is Daria not competing? or did her name just slip my sight from the list?

On the Nabiyeva flight — At the same championship, you presented a new element on the bars, which was later added to the rules with your last name (flying over the top bar with a straight body, difficulty group F. — Sport24). How did you come up with the idea to try something new? — Actually, it happened spontaneously, I think. We worked with Vera Iosifovna [Kiryashova] on the purity of the elements on the bars, sometimes I didn’t fly all the way to the Shaposhnikova element.
