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.

On the same YouTube channel you will fine videos if Sokova, Skrypnik, more of Melnikova and the other interesting juniors!
Daria has just won UB EF with a D score of 6.6, Angelina was fifth and her D score was 6.3 but an E score if 7.4 so presumably a fall again. Eremina won vault. http://sportgymrus.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/C-III-final-v-otdel-ny-j-vidah-MS-devushki-.pdf
DeleteThank you for the results Queen Elizabeth, and indeed this generations in my opinion proves that:
