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.

A timeline of Soviet Olympic history

'If you want to be like me, just train!'  1951 poster promoting the basic physical training system in the Soviet Union.  The man in the picture has the coat of arms of the Soviet Union on his top, indicating he competes at international level.  Picture courtesy of A Soviet Poster A Day Jim Riordan published his article, 'The Rise and Fall of Soviet Olympic Champions', in 1993.   In 1992 the Soviet Union, under the aegis of the Commonwealth of Independent States, had made its last hoorah at the Olympic Games.  The Barcelona Olympics had also marked the 40th anniversary of the Soviet Union's participation in their first Games, at Helsinki in 1952.  Soviet men and women had dominated the artistic gymnastics competitions at both. In the following timeline I extract from Riordan's article key points leading to the accession of the Soviet Union to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1951.  It makes for fascinating reading, addressing such...

On the Nabiyeva flight — At the same championship, you presented a new element on the bars, which was later added to the rules with your last name (flying over the top bar with a straight body, difficulty group F. — Sport24). How did you come up with the idea to try something new? — Actually, it happened spontaneously, I think. We worked with Vera Iosifovna [Kiryashova] on the purity of the elements on the bars, sometimes I didn’t fly all the way to the Shaposhnikova element. Once I didn’t fly all the way to the bars either and stood on my feet between the bars, bending my legs in flight for safety. Then Vera Iosifovna said that this was a different eleme...
