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.

Vladimir Zaglada - coach, author, friend, father

It is with great sadness that I report here the sudden and completely unexpected death, on 5th October, of our friend Vladimir Zaglada.  I send my love and condolences to his daughter, Olesya.  My thoughts are with the whole family.   Vladimir was born in Lvov, Ukraine, in November 1944.  His father was a progressive lawyer of great courage who was known to defend those who challenged the Soviet authorities.  Vladimir trained as a sports acrobat under the developing Soviet sports system, working in the same club as Olympic champion Viktor Chukarin.  After moving to Moscow, he became a leading coach of women's gymnastics, supporting the development of high level acrobatics.  He worked particularly closely with the up and coming young gymnasts of the early 1980s - you can see him at work in the video 'You in Gymnastics'.  At the national training centre, Lake Krugloye, he worked with Filatova, Mostepanova, Yurchenko, Arzhannikova, Mukhina and more.   Around the mid 1980s Vlad

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

Natalia Yurchenko - an exclusive interview

Natalia wins gold at the World Championships in Budapest, 1983 1983 World Champion Natalia Yurchenko speaks directly to readers of RRG in this exclusive interview.    Early years: In the summer of 1976, at the age of 11, I was accepted to a sports boarding school in Rostov-on-Don. I remember it was a 4-level building with the cafeteria on the first floor, academic classrooms on the second floor, rooms for girls on the third floor and rooms for boys on the fourth floor. There was one TV on the ground floor and the kids who stayed at school over the summer (about 20-30 kids), were able to watch the Olympics. Nadia Comaneci’s outstanding performance made us feel jealous because usually the Soviets were the unbeatable favorites. We did feel some relief with amazing performances from Nellie Kim and Ludmilla Tourischeva. Besides Ludmilla, there was a gymnast from Rostov-on-Don, Svetlana Grozdova! And, we were really thrilled to see the very little and cute Maria Filatova. B
