None of the Russian participants of the tournament in gymnastics at the European Games in Baku does not guarantee a place in the national team at the October World Championships in Glasgow. This was stated by head coach TASS Russian gymnastics Andrew Rodionenko.

Russian gymnasts at the Olympic Games in Baku won four gold, four silver and three bronze awards. The Russians had no equal in the men's and women's team competitions. The main heroine of the competition was the 2012 Olympic champion Aliya Mustafina, which in addition to gold in the team tournament also won the award the highest dignity in the individual all-round and in the exercise on the parallel bars. The assets of the gymnasts have also silver in floor exercise. The vault was the winner of the silver award young Seda Toutkhalian that only the first season in favor of the senior team.

With four awards Baku-2015 will return home another debutant team of Russia Nikita Ignatyev, who was second in the exercise on the rings, and the third - in the individual all-around and on the bar. David Bielawski won the silver medal in the Uneven Bars, and "Bronze" - the floor exercise.

"I would not attach this start in Baku some special significance - said Rodionenko. - Yes, we came here to fight for the first places. But this tournament is an intermediate before the World Cup in Glasgow, and none of the medalists of Baku is not yet guaranteed a place in the national team in the main competition of the season. "

Let's see how he will develop business further ", - he continued the coach.

Games for medals in the individual exercises there was a fierce fight, the referee was very difficult to identify the strongest in every form. According to many experts, performances Aliya Mustafina in the floor exercise and uneven bars Beliavsky David were worth more than silver medals. "I have no claims to the arbitrators - said Rodionenko. - They work as they can. And artists need to work as they are able. Find the causes of failures in the judges - to show their own weakness. "

Immediately after the end of the gymnastic tournament in Baku, Russian athletes will go for the next training camp.

Remembering last summer - Nelli Kim, her judges and Viktoria Komova

In view of Nelli Kim's recent interview , Lupita and I thought it timely to revisit the performance of some of the WTC President's judges over past competitions ... this article from 27th August 2012 is reposted here, as a reminder. 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.  M

Review of Russian WAG at the 2014 World Championships

The Russians during a team talk in training for the World Championships.  Courtesy RGF Bronze all the way for Russia then.  Beyond the euphoria and surprise of this morning's competition there doesn't really seem to be much to write home about. I am delighted for Aliya personally that the efforts she has made to help the team have provided her with some tangible result, but the principal feeling at the end of the competition is that of relief.  As Vaitsekhovskaya said in her article last week, there were no moments of shock and awe from the Russians, and that's what will be needed if they are to compete for gold medals in Rio (translation available here ). Let's consider a timeline of the competition : before, during and after. BEFORE The promise of a return to the Worlds stage by Viktoria Komova gave Russia a feeling of optimism pre-Russia Cup.  However, Viktoria's performance at this important competition gave little reason for celebration.  Ye
