Universiade 2015, Gwangju - live streaming

By


The Russian artistic gymnastics teams are now safely at home in the athletes village at Gwangju, and the competition begins tomorrow.  The really good news for us is that we'll be able to watch all the action live for free online.  Check the schedule and register at http://www.livefisu.tv/live?ICID_HOM_TOP_1

There are team, all around and event finals.  Russia's top gymnast present will be Olympic medallist and European Champion, Maria Paseka, who is captaining the women's team in Gwangju.  The men's competition will be favoured by the presence of Ukrainian Oleg Verniaiev who is fresh from his victories at the European Games in Baku.  I hope he can maintain his health through the many competitive starts he is working on this year.  The funding of the Ukrainian programme is very poor and Oleg does not benefit from the financial rewards or medical support provided to his Russian and Azerbaijani colleagues.

Good luck to all the teams!

Women's team, left to right - Daria Elizarova, Ekaterina Kramarenko, Maria Paseka, Alla Sidorenko, Polina Fyodorova

With thanks to the gymnastics group on VK.com for the pictures

NOTE ADDED 4/7 People are having trouble finding the live streaming.  If you follow the link given in the post this schedule comes up in the UK.  Scroll down to see the artistic gymnastics team preliminaries which I see as starting at 12.15.  I am assuming this will adjust to your local time but I could be wrong.  If this is BST it means the streaming is of the final subdivision when the Russian WAG will compete.  But I am only human and may have this wrong!  You can see the countdown.

 

FURTHER NOTE. In the US, the Games are being covered by ESPN.  Look under Upcoming Events, then International, then scroll down to Universiade.  The link is

    In a recent interview Oleg Vernyaev confessed that Ukrainian gymnasts are basically self-supporting. He added, "You know, at every competition the guys from Azerbaijani or Russian teams give us medicines. They know our situation. Those who moved to Azerbaijan, Oleg Stepko, for one, help us in any way they can. Gymnastics shoes, athletic tape and other necessary things."

    FYI - the FISU stream isn't showing any live events for artistic gymnastics. I used the above link and selected artistic gymnastics from the drop down menu. It says "Sorry, no live events available." I registered to see if that would make a difference. It does not. Rhythmic Gymnastics will be streamed live, but no Artistic Gymnastics unless it is on the daily highlights.

      For some reason the sport by sport guide isn't showing gymnastics - but if you go to the daily guide it is there. In the uk coverage of quals begins at just after midday. Always hoping I have read it right!

      It doesn't show up in the daily schedule either, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Would you mind sharing the irect link to the daily schedule, please? Thank you!!

      This is so strange. In the US, the Team Preliminary is completely missing from today's schedule. Bummer :/

      Well, worst case scenario follow the scores here - http://m.gwangju2015.com/sport-schedule-day/?pageNo=1&the_day=07.04&disp_cd=GA&noc=

      Perhaps you should try another browser - I have colleagues in the US who evidently can see the artistic gymnastics ... Unless in your State there is a pay to view channel airing the gymnastics, I do not see why it would be excluded.

      Hey HO. That is enough broadcast controversy for today. Enjoy!

      We have a solution for you! Please see the link to ESPN above - apparently they are covering the Universiade in the US.

    Does anyone know if Paseka will be doing AA or just be a specialist?

      Fyodorova and Elizarova are doing AA. Paseka is doing vault, bars and perhaps floor.

We are satisfied - Aliya Mustafina

By
Photo credit: RGF An Allsport interview today with Aliya Mustafina : http://www.allsportinfo.ru/index.php?id=83075 'I think that we are to be congratulated on this bronze medal, we are more satisfied than frustrated', said Aliya Mustafina. 'We were a new team, all the girls are young, and it's their first time in such a serious competition.  I think today we performed to the best of our ability.  Yes, we have had two falls today - on the uneven bars and balance beam.' 'The young girls failed  psychologically, but  the first time you compete on the senior podium - it's not very easy.  No  one is sad.  I  am very pleased with such a performance.  Everything  was fair enough, maybe not everywhere and in all things, but overall it was quite as expected, both our rivals, and the judging.' 'I began to experience more pain in the ankle - continued Aliya Mustafina. - To do the dismounts I had to muster all my strength and clench my teeth.  ...

Elena Gerasimova retires, invited to coach junior national team

By
Valentina Rodionenko speaks to TASS.  Google translate - Tokyo Olympic participant Elena Gerasimova has decided to end her career in the Russian national artistic gymnastics team. This was reported to TASS by the senior coach of the national team Valentina Rodionenko. "Lena Gerasimova has decided to end her sports career, but she wants to continue competing in student competitions," Rodionenko said. "The athlete has been plagued by injuries in recent years, which made it very difficult for her to endure the training loads that the members of the national team experience. Gerasimova is a very honest and very responsible person. That's why she came and said that she wants to end her career and compete only in student competitions." "I know how responsible and hardworking this girl is, so we suggested that she think about becoming a coach of the youth team on one of the apparatuses in the future. We will count on her. And now she works as a coach at the Anton ...

Listunova interview

By
 Google translate from VK.com -  Match TV talked to Victoria Listunova about the Olympic summer without participating in the Games, recovery, and memories of Tokyo three years later. We are copying several fragments, and the full interview is available on the Match TV website ❓ Victoria, how are you feeling? How was your recovery from the injury? Was it an old problem or some kind of force majeure? 💬 The injury may have been cumulative, it was not immediately revealed, I am now trying to train in the same volume as before. I am restoring my program. It took a long time for rehabilitation. From April until mid-summer, I was completely without loads, so that the injury would heal and never bother me again. But it is not like I was resting all summer. I was constantly present at the training camps, went through all the recovery procedures. At first there was complete rest, then I trained as much as possible without pain. So there were trainings, but in a minimal mode. In the sum...
