- 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".

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...

Aliya Mustafina - 'I'm just trying to stay healthy'

A brief interview with the World and Olympic Champion from All Sport is summarised below. Russian national gymnastics continues to prepare for the World Championships, which will be held October 3-12 in Nanning (China). Olympic champion Aliya Mustafina told Mary Staroverova about her health and about preparations for the competition. - In June, I went to Germany to solve the problem with my ankle.  I had a small operation to clean the joints of a build-up of bone particles.  Nothing serious was evident, and the operation went well.  Now I have to tumble.  But there is still some discomfort, a slight pain at full load, and I can not tumble at full force.  For the time being, I try to go easy on my legs.  After the Russia Cup I will have to fully prepare for Worlds. That is just one month.   Even if I'm not tumbling, I will keep myself in good shape, and that should suffice (smiles). - I can't say if it is a different pain to before Europeans, because at...
