BAKU, June 20. / Special. corr. TASS Albert Starodubtsev, Veronica Sovetova /. 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. "

The coach said that the leaders of the women's national team perennial Russian Mustafina and Viktoria Komova for a long time to heal their injuries, had to get in shape, and believes that these athletes will continue to progress. According to the interlocutor TASS, solidly made in Baku and young Ignatiev. "He is growing professionally, conscientiously work in training. 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.

Who really won the WAG All Around?

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.  My, how I wish we could have seen a similar document for the Tokyo World Championships. I wonder if anyone can explain how, if the FIG's Code of Points is so objective and fair, it is possible to come up with two different results using two differ...

Simone and the others - results and reflections

In the end, it was as predicted : Simone and the others, with Simone's teammate, Alexandra Raisman, providing the back up.  I do not need to point out that, by definition, the Americans are scoring significantly higher marks than the rest of the field.  Congratulations to them! Aliya Mustafina finished in third place.  The 2012 bronze medalist led the competition after vault and uneven bars, but had a very nervous outing on beam that might have taken a less experienced gymnast out of the medals.  A bravura performance on floor brought Aliya back though to confirm her third place all around.  From her senior debut in 2010 to today, Mustafina has continuously set high standards of grace.    It is the first time since 2000 that a gymnast (Amanar) has medalled in the all around at two consecutive Olympics, and  if Aliya can medal on Saturday's uneven bars final, she will once again be Russia's biggest medal winner of the women's gymnastics.  Russ...

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...
