- 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".

Victoria Komov: I could not get into any finals and finished performances in Baku

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.

- In principle, today received more or less well, - said Victoria Komova. - A little shaken on a log than I am dissatisfied. Still, I did not act very confident. 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. But I went out and did not fall, it is a positive thing. I'm going in the right direction and gradually gaining shape. On the next start, I'll look more confident.

The State of the Art - Gymnastics in 2013

Just picked up Peter Aykroyd's 1987 book  International Gymnastics: Sport Art or Science?.  Seeing it reminded me that gymnastics is in a constant state of flux and change; its identity has been subject to debate and conflict since the earliest days of competitive gymnastics, well before it existed in the form we recognise today.  I want to try to talk about the state of the sport today, how it compares to past models, how it arrived at this point, and what are the questions arising. I make no apologies for publishing the picture comparisons on this page, which were created by Lifje.  Some have seemed to find them rather challenging in the past, but they are not airbrushed or altered in any way.  Yes, the pictures are purpose selected for the sake of comparison, but they express a truth about the direction the sport has taken over the past few years.  They are not so much about Russia versus America as artistry versus athletics.  I do not pretend...

No Paseka for Russia in Berne

Barely two weeks will elapse before the WAG European Championships begin in Berne, Switzerland, and the news we had been fearing has been confirmed : world vault gold medallist Maria Paseka is  off the Russian team while she nurses a back injury.  This leaves Russia significantly weakened for the coming competition, with co-star Viktoria Komova also missing from the line-up.  It is a little disappointing, but it seems the right decision to rest the gymnasts so that they can be at their best when and where it really matters. Who will replace Paseka?  Valentina Rodionenko says that the youngster Natalia Kapitonova, who trains in Penza, has been chosen on the basis of her solid performances at national championships.  Well, we will have to wait and see - these announcements often turn out to be unreliable.   I personally would prefer to see the dynamic Seda Tutkhalyan be given a chance at this level, but Kapitonova has certainly shown herself to be more reliab...

WAG Senior start lists are out - Afan does one, Mustafina three

Start lists are now available for tomorrow's senior team and event quals.  At present, the Russian roster  looks like this - Beam - Melnikova, Tutkhalyan, Mustafina Floor - Melnikova, Tutkhalyan, Mustafina  Vault - Melnikova, Tutkhalyan, Afanasyeva  Bars - Melnikova, Spiridonova, Mustafina  Things can still change, dear reader, but this is the most reliable official news we have.    It will be good to see all five members of the team compete - I am relieved that Mustafina isn't doing all four but worried for her legs on floor; delighted to see Melnikova and Tutkhalyan making such a strong contribution; and pleased that Afanasyeva is having a chance to try out her training, despite what might be a small injury.  Spiridonova is also looking good for bars, in fact to me she is underused here.   Good luck!  Udachi!  To all the team.  We are very excited to see you compete and do well! The start lists can be found here - http:/...
