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!!

      You are not the only one with this problem! Please see the note and screenshot I have added in the post above which I hope will help you to have hours of fun in Gwangju, virtually!

      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.

Viktoria Komova - back pain has forced me to step down

By
I awoke this morning to a very simple statement from Viktoria Komova, on her vk.com site, which Papa Liukin has translated (via the IG forum): 'Dear friends, fans, and gymnastics lovers. Unfortunately back pain isn't allowing me to train to my full potential and get ready for competitions. I've made the very difficult decision to stop training and take care of my health. I want to thank everyone for their support! Without your love and warmth it would've been more difficult to go all the way. Thanks everyone and see you soon! Love and kisses.' Well, first of all, good wishes and best of luck to Viktoria, who has struggled since 2012 to re-establish herself fully as a competitive gymnast, whose talent was so great that she secured gold on bars at two different World Championships, four years apart, whose career was littered with controversy, who must be allowed to live her life as she wishes.   I know that the 'gymternet' will now be overflowing...

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

By
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...

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

By
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.
