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.

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...

Aliya Mustafina - 'each medal is very special'

'I'm very happy that everything turned out well today  ... Each medal is very special.  The UK team made mistakes, so there was a wide margin [of victory]... But naturally, [what I did] is not enough for the Olympics.  I prepared well for beam and bars but I am not ready for floor, I stepped up to help the team. ... To be honest, I did not look at the scores [when asked how the team reacted to the 6.5 gap before the final apparatus].  Gelya (Melnikova) is a good girl, she did everything and did not falter ... Seda fell on quite a complex element.  There is more work to do, but everything else went well.' [About a protest taken by the coaches on her beam score]. 'I am used to my protests being rejected, everything is normal!' Via vk.com I n other news , the UEG has confirmed that Spiridonova will replace Melnikova in tomorrow's bars final. No reason is given, but it is generally considered that Dasha has a better chance of gold.  This decision also means tha...
