Today, June 14, at the first European Games in Baku (Azerbaijan) started gymnastics tournament. The men were held qualifying competitions in the floor exercise, in the rings and on horseback.

The impressions Nikita Ignatyev shared with special correspondent of the press service DSP Mark Skoda. Agency of the sports information "All Sport" quoted Nikita Ignatyev.

- In general, I am satisfied with the first day of the competition - said Nikita Ignatyev. - Although there were unforeseen troubles. For example, on the floor exercise, I did everything well and was happy, but then out of the blue made a serious mistake - not able to get into the rack, and had to start all over again. I rented it for a lot of points. It is an optional deduction, because of which in this form I can not get into the finals.

- And how were on rings and on horseback?
- The ring has the ability to go to the finals. The horse - not my final round, but I liked it, I carried it out. In general, in the floor I do not pass, but it was David Bielawski. On rings, likely he passed, and on horseback gave credit for the team tournament. I want to say that these games - a very interesting tournament, the first of its kind. The qualification is divided into two days - three rounds each, usually we do all six in one day. I think the scheme of European games easier and more comfortable for the athletes. I like that. I hope that tomorrow will perform worse.

Started having problems with the preservation of balance, I spent a lot of strength to resist, but in the end the combination of them still do not have - I fell before the dismount. Then he went to the projectile and did it again, but of course, that I was given one point deductions. However, Nikita Ignatyev David Bielawski worked great. On the floor exercise and rings, I gave two offset in the team tournament, which are the two best scores from the three countries. Although, of course, I had to do it in the horse.

Aliya Mustafina - I competed as best I could

Picture credit RGF Aliya speaks in Sports Express http://news.sport-express.ru/2014-05-18/699607 I am very pleased with my performance today, I don't know what the judges didn't like about my bars, but I didn't ask them ... I did my routine fairly well without serious error. On beam I didn't have the start value but I received the highest execution score.  We will try to fix that before the World Championships. Considering the problems I had with my ankle, I think I performed to the optimum at the moment.  I did everything I could. I'm not  the least bit sorry that I performed here -  Very glad that I could help the team. I think my presence made things easier for the girls.   It is very difficult to compete at such serious senior competitions for the first time.  Of course they were very worried.   But I'm sure that with time they will learn to cope easily with their nerves (smiles). 

Simone Biles - 'on her way to Olympic gold' in the opinion of Russia

Prosport is carrying the following article about Simone Biles, who they tip as a favourite for Olympic gold.  I thought I would share it here (Google translate in italics) as it gives an interesting perspective on where the Russians feel the sport is heading.  Elena Zamolidchikova and Alexander Alexandrov are both extensively quoted. Atypical American. Simon Biles on the way to Olympic gold Simone Biles, American gymnast, turned 18 on March 14, 2015. Shortly before this, the first in US history absolute Olympic gymnastics champion Mary Lou Retton called Biles perhaps the most gifted athlete in the history of the sport. In 2014, Simon became the first gymnast for 40 years to win four gold at a World Championships. But Biles is not only talent. This is the first gymnast in recent years from the United States, who is not going to earn on its potential Olympic success.
