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.

Aliya Mustafina - I competed as best I could

Picture credit RGF Aliya speaks in Sports Express http://news.sport-express.ru/2014-05-18/699607 I am very pleased with my performance today, I don't know what the judges didn't like about my bars, but I didn't ask them ... I did my routine fairly well without serious error. On beam I didn't have the start value but I received the highest execution score.  We will try to fix that before the World Championships. Considering the problems I had with my ankle, I think I performed to the optimum at the moment.  I did everything I could. I'm not  the least bit sorry that I performed here -  Very glad that I could help the team. I think my presence made things easier for the girls.   It is very difficult to compete at such serious senior competitions for the first time.  Of course they were very worried.   But I'm sure that with time they will learn to cope easily with their nerves (smiles). 

The State of the Art - Gymnastics in 2013

Just picked up Peter Aykroyd's 1987 book  International Gymnastics: Sport Art or Science?.  Seeing it reminded me that gymnastics is in a constant state of flux and change; its identity has been subject to debate and conflict since the earliest days of competitive gymnastics, well before it existed in the form we recognise today.  I want to try to talk about the state of the sport today, how it compares to past models, how it arrived at this point, and what are the questions arising. I make no apologies for publishing the picture comparisons on this page, which were created by Lifje.  Some have seemed to find them rather challenging in the past, but they are not airbrushed or altered in any way.  Yes, the pictures are purpose selected for the sake of comparison, but they express a truth about the direction the sport has taken over the past few years.  They are not so much about Russia versus America as artistry versus athletics.  I do not pretend...

UPDATE 23/9 - Russian WAG team for Nanning confirmed

Daria Spiridonova will compete at her first World Championships this autumn.  Picture : RGF Natalia Kalugina has confirmed the Russian team for Nanning : Aliya Mustafina, Maria Kharenkova, Tatiana Nabieva,Ekaterina Kramarenko, Alla Sosnitskaya, Daria Spiridonova.  Reserve : Polina Fyodorova Here is a paraphrased translation of a comment by Natalia Kalugina on her Facebook page : 'Aliya has confidence in competition and she is, kind of, a coach to this team.  In Europe she succeeded in this role and she has told the coaches that she even liked it. The main fighting force will be Kharenkova, Sosnitskaya and Spiridonova.  Accordingly, the strongest apparatus will be beam (Marina Bulashenko With God!).  The Chinese women, of course, have been known to win that apparatus, but if one falls, they all fall.   Alla Sosnitskaya could compete in the vault final, and - in theory - on the floor. On bars, of course, Russia will probably lose to the Chinese women, but the...
