Aliya Mustafina: Do not force preparing to go out to the platform has changed a bit, with something new
4-8 March will be held in Penza Russian championship in gymnastics. According to the results of the Russian national team will be formed to participate in the European Championships, scheduled for April 15-19 in Montpellier (France). Olympic champion Aliya Mustafina will miss the first start of the pre-Olympic season. On his plans Aliya Mustafina told the special correspondent of the Agency of the sports information "All Sport" Mary Staroverova.

- I'm just a week exercise in full force - said Aliya Mustafina. - In early February, I removed a cyst of the tooth and the tooth itself. But now all is well, the stitches removed, I train (smiles). Although back more worried. I think that it will now always be felt. But, at least, back does not hurt as much as before. Treatment in Germany went in my favor. In general, while I just get in shape. Back engaged, not really trained, plus more after tooth extraction I even upside down could not stand up. Have decided that I will miss the championship of Russia and Europe. In the first place - not to boost training. And then go out on the platform to change a little something. With something new. So now the main thing - do not hurry. According to the plans the first start of the new season will be European games in Baku (Azerbaijan).

- Head coach of Russia Valentina Rodionenko said that you changed the training. What exactly has changed?
- The process does not become complicated. And I can not say it is more convenient or not. He is, how he decided to make my new personal trainer Sergey V. Starkin who works with Denis Ablyazin. Therefore, in our case, the main was that our training with Denis not overlap. We have different rooms and halls. And basically uncomfortable to work with multiple athletes at one time, you need all the attention paid to one gymnast. This was the main aspect. And we found a convenient option. No special innovations. Just train, do the same shells. No something new for me. Just changed the workout, changed coach. But everything else remains the same. I train on the basis of "Round Lake", together with the girls.

- Already outlined some changes in your programs?
- Yes, they mainly affect my voluntary and bars. Combination on the bars will change under the new rules, which came after the 2012 Olympics. A voluntary - just to complicate.

- You - the core team, have always supported the girls. There is regret that miss the European Championship?
- European Championships this year - personal, team competition will not. Let the girls perform, I'll worry about them match the distance. Thoughts will be with them.

- Already thinking that you will have to wait in Baku?
- Contest - a competition. At each tournament can expect anything. This is just another start, where you need to go to the platform, you will judge the judge. Any international start - serious competition, they can not be prepared each time differently. European games will be good preparation for the World Cup. All the basic ideas connected with the autumn World Cup. But I never have to think, do not set myself any problems.

Pongo’s predictions for Russia MAG in Rotterdam

Pongo is my AI assistant.  Read here his calculations of who might make the best Russian MAG team at the World Championships in October.  Please do feel free to disagree audibly, in the comments and note that Pongo admits, even he makes mistakes.  I don’t generally write such statistical material, so this may be a one off. With apologies for any errors, mine entirely and I wrote the brief.   Yes. I’ve treated this as a genuine team-construction problem , rather than simply taking the six gymnasts with the highest AA scores. For the calculation I used the most recent strong competitive score available for each gymnast: the Spartakiad scores for Yakubov, Novikov and Kisel , and mainly European Championship team-final/final scores for Dukhno, Marinov, Zaika and Sieedin , supplemented by Russian Championship scores where a recent European score was not available. That matters because Dukhno and Marinov, for example, were substantially stronger in Zagreb than some earlier...

Profile of a Russian gymnastics fan - Valeria

Valeria was sitting right next to me in the Olympiski Arena, Moscow, during the first day of the men's and women's event finals at the European Championships.  Her enthusiasm was infectious, her English excellent, and we soon got talking.   I'm really curious to know what makes gymnastics fans tick, so asked Valeria a few questions.  She has some very interesting and well articulated opinions. Valeria, what would you like to say about yourself? I'm 19 years old, live in Moscow, and study tourism management.   I love, of course, gym, cinema, travel. )) How did you first become interested in gymnastics? I became interested in gymnastics after watching the 2008 Beijing Olympics - in Russia, unfortunately, gymnastics is shown very rarely on the main channels, with poor commentators, so I was lucky to see it on cable TV, and I fell in love with gymnastics. :)) What is it about the sport that most excites you? I like the ...

Svetlana Boginskaya: I was always a bitch* in gymnastics

Svetlana Boginskaya, 15 years old, with her medals from the Seoul Olympics Nico translates the latest interview with gymnastics legend Svetlana Boginskaya, during a recent visit to her home country of Belarus. Svetlana Boginskaya: I was always a bitch* in gymnastics, so now I ask for forgiveness from everyone who came in contact with me. The National Olympic Committee of Belarus held a press conference with three-time Olympic Champion in artistic gymnastics, Svetlana Boginskaya. The meeting was devoted to the 25th anniversary of the Olympic Games in Seoul. In South Korea the Belarussian won two gold medals in the team competition and vault.

How happy we were when we could share with such stars as Boginskaya, Scherbo, and Ivankov,...
