  1. Oh no ... Spiridonova on FX = throw in the garbage team gold. Maybe they pick Seda for FX and Paseka stay home, cuz Aliya can bring pretty good DTY, instead of Paseca awful Cheng/amanar from this season

  5. Why not? They got a great Team Manager/Head Coach/Media Specialist that has been hands on lately and calling some shots! Maybe They managed to get Spiridonova to upgrade her difficulty on FX. Why not :)

  7. Oh god. Why is Daria on Floor? Also, I'm not liking that they are using Afanseyva for 3 events. They are going to burn her out! I want Afanseyva to go to Rio so bad!

    I think instead of Daria, they should have put Seda. Seda could have done Beam instead of Afanseyva thus reseting Afanseyva and giving them a much higher beam total AND she can also preform a better floor than Daria. Daria is EASILY replaceable on bars. Yes, she is world champion and well no one can presently score as high, no matter what line up they come up with, Russia will have a strong bars rotation. Paseka can score High 14's easily on bars which is good enough.

    I really feel like they just won't give Seda another chance. I mean she failed so miserably at worlds that I understand but even then, Russia is going to be loosing out especially seeing how consistent she has been in the last competitions

    1. Hold on ... I am hearing that Paseka is in hospital with a back injury. If she is out, that may favour Seda, who can do bars and vault reasonably well ... so maybe we'll have a team with Daria AND Seda. Here's hoping that Maria recovers well, that Seda gets her chance, and that the coaches see fit to let her compete on all four pieces - where I believe she can make a contribution,

    2. I really think Seda is fighting for one of Paseka or Afanasyeva's Rio "spots". I guess she'd replace Melnikova if needed as well. But she doesn't have the bars to replace Mustafina or Komova on that event (I am going off V-Rod's current idea of the Rio team), so if one of those two can't go Russia will first look to take a bars girl, of which Daria is the best and most consistent. They want a medal on that event and even if Fan Yilin of China is now likely the favorite to win thanks to her hugely difficult routine, bars is still Russia's best chance for a gold on the women's side. So Seda and Daria are fighting for different spots. Maybe things will change in June, but at least for right now I believe that's the case.

      That being said, I would like for both Seda and Daria to go to Euros. It's a shame if Maria Paseka is injured and I hope she recovers, but I'd prefer Seda to go over her anyway, especially if they were only going to have her vault. And although I know it would only hurt Russia right now, I wish Euros were 5-4-3 in qualifications instead of 5-3-3.

    3. No this is horrendous news! I wanted Daria to be replaced not Paseka and especially not out with an injury.

      Hope she is well and can continue to train for the olympics because they are a couple of months away and if its serious, then a comeback is not happening this late in the olympic cycle

Simone and the others - results and reflections

In the end, it was as predicted : Simone and the others, with Simone's teammate, Alexandra Raisman, providing the back up.  I do not need to point out that, by definition, the Americans are scoring significantly higher marks than the rest of the field.  Congratulations to them! Aliya Mustafina finished in third place.  The 2012 bronze medalist led the competition after vault and uneven bars, but had a very nervous outing on beam that might have taken a less experienced gymnast out of the medals.  A bravura performance on floor brought Aliya back though to confirm her third place all around.  From her senior debut in 2010 to today, Mustafina has continuously set high standards of grace.    It is the first time since 2000 that a gymnast (Amanar) has medalled in the all around at two consecutive Olympics, and  if Aliya can medal on Saturday's uneven bars final, she will once again be Russia's biggest medal winner of the women's gymnastics.  Russ...

Svetlana Boginskaya: I was always a bitch* in gymnastics

Svetlana Boginskaya, 15 years old, with her medals from the Seoul Olympics Nico translates the latest interview with gymnastics legend Svetlana Boginskaya, during a recent visit to her home country of Belarus. Svetlana Boginskaya: I was always a bitch* in gymnastics, so now I ask for forgiveness from everyone who came in contact with me. The National Olympic Committee of Belarus held a press conference with three-time Olympic Champion in artistic gymnastics, Svetlana Boginskaya. The meeting was devoted to the 25th anniversary of the Olympic Games in Seoul. In South Korea the Belarussian won two gold medals in the team competition and vault. As a gift to the Olympic Hall of fame, the famous gymnast, now living in the United States, donated one of her trophies that she won at the 1990 European Championships and a pennant for Best Female Athlete of the USSR in 1989. How happy we were when we could share with such stars as Boginskaya, Scherbo, and Ivankov,...
