    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?

      I think it is most likely a typo as Daria is in recent photos of those training at Round Lake.

      Both Sokova and Melnikova will be eligible for the senior team next year, but are 2000 born - so you shouldn't expect to see them compete in Penza this week.

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...
