Andrew Rodionenko: no guarantee of inclusion in the team for the World Cup, we did not allow anyone - everything will be decided at the Cup of Russia
The Russian national team in gymnastics continues to prepare for the main start of the season - the World Cup, which 23 October - 1 November will be held in Glasgow (Scotland). Russia coach Andrei Rodionenko told the special correspondent of the Agency of the sports information "All Sport" Victor Limasovu about current news from the team. Read the first part of an interview with Andrew Rodionenko (pictured).
- Andrew F., can call gymnasts who have already booked a place in the team, which will perform at the World Cup?
- Now all the top athletes are preparing for the Cup of Russia, which will be held in September in Penza. There are no guarantees about the inclusion in the squad for the World Cup, we were not given to anyone. I understand that we have and the more famous artists, less famous, but the main problem lies in the fact that all are now not only in the very good level of preparedness, but also experience some health problems. And it is important too. For example, Ksenia Afanasyeva recently emerged as a serious problem with a tooth, which none of us just did not expect. It - one of our leaders, an important member of the team, but now there was such an unexpected problem that we solve. And such complexity has many. Therefore, the World Cup team is preparing an expanded version - half ended. In the near future will be an important reference start - an international tournament for the prizes Rusiko Sikharulidze, which will be held August 26-31 in Batumi (Georgia). Exactly two weeks later, on September 14-20, will be held in Penza Cup of Russia. Here there will be a final selection for the World Cup. The coaching staff will determine the Group of Seven, which are scheduled to perform in Glasgow, as well as two or three spare athlete. Athletes understand: who will be better prepared - and he will go to the World Cup. And each must show the Cup of Russia on its maximum result.
- All of the above applies to the men's team and a female?
- Yes, as the teams made the same plan of preparation for the World Cup. And for all candidates must be an international start in Batumi, in a relaxed atmosphere where you can evaluate the program - what has been done at a high level, and that is still possible to complete and should be improved. Then, two weeks before the Cup of Russia will be made the necessary adjustments.
- All the leaders of the Russian team perform at the tournament in Georgia?
- We will try to perform all - so that we can assess their level of readiness at this stage. It may not be just Aliya Mustafina Olympic champion. She had this year was already serious enough starts, and she recently completed a rehabilitation course. She did not have enough time to prepare for the tournament in Batumi, because she has a bit delayed the rehabilitation period. We do not need to force it to act in unprepared state, Alia will purposefully prepare for the Cup of Russia. Perhaps, except Mustafina, Georgia will perform all of our top athletes.
- As part of the men's team planned to speak and David Bielawski, and Nikita Ignatyev, and Denis Ablyazin and Nicholas Kuksenkova?
- Yes, exceptions for anybody will not be done.
- Beliavsky have had serious problems with his hand on the European Games in Baku. How does he feel now?
- These problems are and have been and will be - but David will perform in Batumi and in Perm. Pain in the hand can either be exacerbated or retreat, but we try to do everything possible to speak of an athlete.
- Surgery is possible?
- His problem - it is accumulated over many years of injury, which at times exacerbated. Therefore, the operation of not talking.
- A state of one of the leaders of the most bothering you?
- I care about the status of all gymnasts - because the situation can change at any time, this is the life (laughs). Here's an example, girls in the health assembly play in the sand volleyball. One athlete unsuccessfully turned, the foot was stuck, and then went on, and the little finger was a bit on the side, at an angle of 90 degrees. How such a thing could be envisaged? And now it is in the process of recovery. Such moments can not be predicted in advance.

Andrew Rodionenko: five-six for the World Cup have to make so that it was a strong team for the tournament, and included good specialists in individual events
The Russian national team in gymnastics continues to prepare for the main start of the season - the World Cup, which 23 October - 1 November will be held in Glasgow (Scotland). Russia coach Andrei Rodionenko told the special correspondent of the Agency of the sports information "All Sport" Victor Limasovu about complex problems of the formation of the team. Read the second part of an interview with Andrew Rodionenko (pictured).
Attention! The first part of an interview with Andrew Rodionenko read - HERE!
- All leading gymnasts are candidates for participation in the World Cup? Or someone because of injuries already lost the opportunity to take part in competitions?
- No, who are now practicing, applying for participation in the World Cup. The girls are now centralized preparation of nine people that age are eligible to participate in the World Championship (ie, from the 16-years and older - is athletes born in 1999 and older). But we have also included the preparation of a few people born in 2000 - to the next year, when they were able to enter the age of the team, were ready to compete at the senior level. Those girls will take part in the championship of Russia in 2016 - on an equal footing with everyone, without condescension, with the right of getting into the squad for the Olympic Games. And more specifically, we have come up with "Olympic-test" - take part in it, all the girls, who will be able to get to the Olympics, but do not yet have experience of playing in major tournaments of international level. Most likely, it will be gymnasts born in 2000.
- At your command, as in others, there are certainly medal or, as it is called, the plan forecast for the world championship?
- I do not know of such a plan. Our task - to act as we'll be ready. Of course, we will fight for the World Cup award, but we do not burden the girls and the boys some guidelines. They have to fight for the medals - and they will fight. But the number of planned medals problematic to say - most often it is an illusion, in one way or another. Therefore it is necessary to say only that the athletes were really ready for the World Cup - and, above all, as a team. And if the team is ready, the rule "creates a team leader." Here at the world championship leaders and will show itself.
- What kind of results do you, as manager, will be satisfied?
- A good result. Medal result.
- Zolotomedalnym?
- Why gold? Silver, you think this is bad? I believe that all the teams that are fighting for a medal - a high-level commands. Especially, now, on the eve of the Olympic Games in the various teams is such a change of generations, it's hard to even imagine what will happen next. Over the past six months in the compositions of some of the teams in the big tournaments such as the Pan American Games, Asian Games, "American Classic", were the names of athletes who did not have before. There are new artists, new programs, new team. And for us every world championship, especially prior to the Olympic Games - a meeting with almost new generation of athletes. For example, US trainers have restored all experienced athletes, titled veterans. At the same time, the team appeared new names. In Asia, the situation is not very clear to us. Some teams were at the Asian Games and other competitions serious level of different teams. And one - say, concentrated - the Chinese team we have not seen anywhere else. So now difficult to say with whom we compete in the world championship. Also, do not forget about the format of the competition. The team should be six participants who perform well in the team tournament, and in the individual all-round and in separate shells. There are 7-8 strong candidates, but the best can not get into the team only for the reason that for the team, they do not bring any desired result. For example, the athlete makes a great shell. And well, if he will win a medal - this can be sacrificed for the sake of something else. And if he has a problematic shell and damage the team tournament then it is impossible to fix it? And this situation - not only for us, the Chinese have the same difficulty. Perhaps only the Japanese feel comfortable. Therefore, to achieve the optimal variant, all the best result in the desired format (six people per team, five speakers, are taken into account the four best results), it is necessary to have seven or eight high-level gymnasts. And we need to make this five-six so it was a really strong result for the team, and included good specialists for certain types. For example, the Brazilian national team at the Pan American Games performed, are not included in the composition of world champion in the floor exercise. Because he is good in the floor, and two shells in command kinds of "fall down". And I do not know, put it in a very decent trainers on the level of skill the team at the World Cup or not. And the Japanese have already announced the squad. And there is no better expert in exercises on rings. But they are fantastic effort the team athlete in the exercise on horseback - again, to fight for the victory in the team competition.
- How and where will be the final gathering before the World Cup teams?
- On our main training base "Round Lake". Because there are all conditions for full training, treatment and recovery. We will prepare in Moscow for two weeks prior to the World Cup.
