- In individual finals, I went to the all-around, uneven bars and possibly the floor exercise - said Aliya Mustafina. - In the freestyle I have the best result in the team, but it is not clear what points will gain athletes from other countries.

- How to evaluate its shape compared with the Olympic Games in London?
- 55 per cent. If now it was 100, then the curve would go down, and began to decline. It is better to get in shape than ever to support it.

- Russian Debutante team Seda Tuhtalyan able to bypass you and Viktoiyu com on the Balance Beam. This surprised?
- Seda - umnichka. I did not expect that it will perform well enough. She has a very strong performance on the balance beam. And she knows how to gather important competition, and this is most important. This test she passed.

- And how do you address Victoria Komova?
- Vic did not speak for a long time, so now the main thing for her - that was not falling. In principle, it is important for all of us. To be able not to lose is more important, and the error is still time to correct. I am sure that Vick prepare well for the World Cup 2015 and the Olympic Games-2016.

- For the other girls from the team suffered greatly when they act?
- If you stand and wait for their turn, do not feel fear for others. And if everything is already finished, and then stand and watch as the girls do exercises - then yes, it is experiential.

- Watch out for other sports in the European games?
- We do not have a TV in the room, so the next is not yet possible (laughs). When will all of our performances in the tournament, probably fetch someone to cheer.

Seda Tuhtalyan: on a log I have a good chance of gold in the vault will try to get into the "top three"

 

Today, June 15, at the first European Games in Baku (Azerbaijan) continues Gymnastics Tournament. Women held qualifying competitions in the floor exercise and balance beam. Russia's Seda Tuhtalyan for floor exercises got 13,600 points for the exercises on the balance beam - 14,600. The impressions Seda Tuhtalyan shared with special correspondent for the press-service DSP Mark Skoda. Agency of the sports information "All Sport" quoted Sedu Tuhtalyan.
- Today I have more sophisticated proscale and score higher than yesterday - said Seda Tuhtalyan. - I was able to qualify for the finals in vault and balance beam. In these kinds I could add great compared to last year. Bars my weaknesses, and in the floor exercise is necessary to build a program. It should be well in the finals, and then you can think about how to get to the World Cup and there is fight in the all-around.
- Around - your priority?
- Need to work on each type, then the result will turn out and around. I think that it is easier to win the all-around - just pass all the shells without thinking. Razmalsya - made, he warmed - made, and the team on the three shells a day responsibility and heavier.
- Do you know about the interest Larissa Latynina to your performances?
- First time I've heard. Actually my idol - Lenka Zamolodchikova. We will deal with it. She traveled to the competition and judged us, so we met. I really like as a person and as an athlete.
- Today, on the log you score more points than Mustafina and Komova, ie in 16 years have been able to circumvent the gold and silver medalist. Today you have opened itself to the world?
- You could say that. But, in fact, I was just trying to work out their items without errors. Now I'm calm from what I was able to get right in the two finals. Now, at the crucial moment I just will not shake, because I gained some confidence.
- What are your original medal prospects in the vault and balance beam?
- If the beam will pass correctly, then I will have a good chance of gold. In the vault, one Swiss serves more difficult jumps, but I'll try to be in the "troika".

On the floor exercise I was all good, but I'm pretty rude mistake on landing. I could not get into any finals and finished performances in Baku.

- That is the European game for you to become a failure?
- Actually, I knew about the likelihood that Baku's so over. Still, I did not speak for three years - this is a very serious term. It could be anything - could fall, confused, and so on.

Dmitri Andreev - we are building towards long term goals

  Dmitri Andreev, Russia’s gymnastics leader now that Andrei Rodionenko has stepped into an advisory capacity, is a long standing national coach and well respected international judge.  Now, as gymnastics in Russia steps forward onto the international arena once more, (via its neutral athletes, coaches and officials), it’s up to Andreev and his team to support and structure the growth and development of gymnastics.   Russia’s first big goal as neutral athletes is to qualify for the Olympics at the October World Championships.  Many of the gymnasts have limited experience on the big stage.  The necessary placements are therefore a big ask - especially emotionally and psychologically.   Here is how Andreev sees things working. 1. Transition Phase: Building Toward Major Goals The Russian team is in a deliberate rebuilding and preparation phase. Early-season competitions like the Russian Cup serve more as evaluation tools than peak performances. The primary o...

Andrei Rodionenko explains Russia's performance at Worlds - Lupitatranslates

Rodionenko with European Champion David Belyavski  Courtesy RGF/Elena Mikhailova This is the interview that many people on the internet have already commented on, regarding Andrei Rodionenko's alleged racism.  The original, Russian language version, appears on VTB Bank's website (VTB are sponsors of Russian gymnastics).  It takes cleverer people than me to decide what is racism, what is deliberately perjorative, and what is inferred in an interviewer's question.  For now, I will not comment on this, therefore, but I would ask you to read Lupita's translation carefully before you form your own opinion.   I am providing some links below which might help you to decide where you stand.

Nelli Kim - 'Russian gymnastics has closed in on itself' - Lupita translates

Lupita has translated this ITAR-TASS interview with Nelli Kim.  It's controversial, to say the least. Ed's note : much of the initial response to this interview - both here and in the wider gymternet -  has focussed on the detail of Kim's words and especially her comments about Viktoria Komova, and smiling.  But I think these have to be taken in context, and not too literally. Don't forget that just a day ago Andrei Rodionenko complained bitterly about the judging in Antwerp, calling Kim's behaviour 'aggressive'. Kim is responding to this here, and to the wider current context of Russian gymnastics.  What she is essentially saying to the Russian coach is 'get your own house in order, produce confident, disciplined, well trained gymnasts - stop complaining, do your job, and I will do mine.'   She goes about saying this in a somewhat long winded way and says some things along the way that seem contradictory, unfair, inappropriate even for th...
