Viktoria Komova to miss Russian Championships


Viktoria has informed fans via her VK.com group that she will miss nationals because she is taking treatment for back pain.

This obviously isn't great news for the returning champion, but pain is a way of life for gymnasts and it is right that Viktoria now rests and tries to get better before the 'business' end of the year.

With Russia's veteran all arounders out of the picture, it will be an interesting competition in Penza.  Melnikova, Tutkhalyan, Kapitonova and Kharenkova are now Russia's main all around prospects.

  2. Im also excited to see how Skrypnik and Sokova do, IMO those two with Melnikova are very good prospects for Russia.

    1. I've seen this question a few times, and the simple answer is that I do not think anyone really knows the full answer. She was injured, has been back at Round Lake a few times, but it does not seem likely that she will be a contender for Rio. Let's just wait and see.
