Valery Alfosov: preparing for the new season has not been smooth - the whole team is very seriously ill with influenza
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). On the state of affairs in the men's team, the special correspondent of the Agency of the sports information "All Sport" said Mary Staroverova head coach of Russian men's team gymnastics Valery Alfosov.

- The mood in the team is normal, - said Valery Alfosov. - Cup of Russia, we are opening a new season. While training for the tournament has not been smooth. The whole team is very seriously ill with the flu. And it's decently knocked us out of the desired schedule. In addition, some gymnasts still dolechivatsya sores. Perform at the championship of Russia will be all but Emin Garibov and Alexander Balandin, who are still on treatment. Balandin but we have already invited to the next gathering. We have information that he is already working bars and rings. It will be necessary to see in what aspect it performs combination. It would be nice to the guy quickly got into operation. Also approximately the end of summer we expect the team Garibova. Emin is still undergoing rehabilitation courses, is now in Germany. On the equipment does not work yet, but the dynamics of positive recovery. All its operations were quite successful, feeling good.

- It turns out Garibov can act in the world championship in the fall?
- Yes, it is our desire. After such injuries and operations much will depend on the very Emin, his character and desire. Wanted him to have just walked in readiness for the final stage of preparation for the Olympic Games in Rio. But nothing will boost - early entry into physical shape fraught get another micro traumas that no good cause can not.

- Denis Ablyazin also recovering from surgery. As his condition?
- At the end of last season, he had accumulated injuries, he did the operation. Now trains, is in good condition. Makes his rounds, will act in Penza. Although questions on health Ablyazin still there. But I think they can be solved and overcome. I am confident that the European Championships will add it in top form, will be able to adequately compete.

- Can you identify some of the youth?
- Now young gymnasts to collect invited Nikita Nagorno and Dima Lankina. Nagorno - pronounced all-rounder with very strong freestyle and support. Lankin more individualist, now tightens his freestyle, rails and jumps. Interesting guys, now both in the cage team. Will play in the championship of Russia. I think, in preparation for the European Championships will also work with the team, qualify for a trip to France. We hope they guys make a good impression, nice fit in the team. From young gymnasts have more Vanya Stretoch. He previously worked in the team, but had a shoulder injury. Come to Penza - see the state he was. Unfortunately, many of these injuries, they do not allow us to bring all the athletes at a decent level, which can show the Russian athletes. Injuries are making a lot of adjustments in the preparation, planning, team building. Every European Championship involves different regulations. Now there is no team competition, but there are some shells. So you need to cook more, so to speak, individualists, to fight for the medals of the continental tournament.

- For the European Championships team will prepare an expanded?
- Of Course. And if you take aim at the autumn World Cup - there are other regulations. On the contrary, needs more all-rounders - to solve the problem of the conquest of prize-winning places in the team, then it goes to the detriment of winning medals at the individual shells. There is a double edged sword. Have to work on all fronts regulations that we descend the International Gymnastics Federation.

Viktoria Komova - back pain has forced me to step down

I awoke this morning to a very simple statement from Viktoria Komova, on her vk.com site, which Papa Liukin has translated (via the IG forum): 'Dear friends, fans, and gymnastics lovers. Unfortunately back pain isn't allowing me to train to my full potential and get ready for competitions. I've made the very difficult decision to stop training and take care of my health. I want to thank everyone for their support! Without your love and warmth it would've been more difficult to go all the way. Thanks everyone and see you soon! Love and kisses.' Well, first of all, good wishes and best of luck to Viktoria, who has struggled since 2012 to re-establish herself fully as a competitive gymnast, whose talent was so great that she secured gold on bars at two different World Championships, four years apart, whose career was littered with controversy, who must be allowed to live her life as she wishes.   I know that the 'gymternet' will now be overflowing...
