- 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.

- 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".

Sergei Starkin - 'My job is to bring Aliya back to the best in the world'

Sergei Starkin, then coach to Denis Ablyazin and now coach to both Denis and Aliya Mustafina, at the 2012 Olympics.  Courtesy of the RGF The latest news, that Aliya Mustafina now has a personal coach - not just a personal coach, one of Russia's best coaches, Sergei Starkin - was only released yesterday.  Since then we have heard from Vladimir Zaglada on the implications of this change - and now Sergei Starkin himself has spoken to Natalia Kalugina.  The following English language summary of the article is as close as I can get to the original, though please be aware that I will have to paraphrase where the translation isn't clear; this is not a word for word translation. Back in early December, when Aliya Mustafina turned to Sergei Starkin and asked him to work with her, there was talk about why a men's coach should work in the women's sport.   This is despite the fact that Starkin began his professional life as a women's coach.  His best known gymnast
