European Games information


You will find a schedule, draw etc for the European Games competition here.  

It is an unusual format, and not particularly one I like ... Team comp over 2 days, 3 up 2 count.

On the other hand, we will have a chance to see our a Russian team in full flow!

  1. This is honestly a very stupid format. So more likely than not aside from team final, we'll see one AA and 4 more Russian routines. I'm not liking how this sounds. They should have at least allowed for 2 AAers.

Russian Gymnastics - Highlights (and Lowlights) of 2013

The post-Olympic year has been interesting, and occasionally dramatic, for Russian gymnastics.  An eventful and very busy year for RRG , including a first, but hopefully not last, visit to Russia.  The Russian team participated in three major competitions - Europeans, Universiade and Worlds - two of them in their home country.   The women's team confirmed themselves as Europe's leading gymnastics force.  They were supreme and unbeatable amongst the mature competition at the Universiade, held in the Tatar capital of Kazan.  Even with only one of their leading gymnasts competing - Aliya Mustafina - they managed to finish in second place in the medal count at Worlds in Antwerp this autumn - including that brightly shining gold on beam.  The men's team looked promising, but in the generally stronger international field of play, are locked in a fierce battle for bronze with Germany, USA and Britain.   Russia lost a jewel in its crown when WAG coach, Alexander Alexandrov, felt fo
