Plot: the situation with the possible ban of the Russian team from the Olympics - Opinion, commentaries.
Moscow, July 25th RSport. Alexander Rogulev.
According to the Head Coach of the Russian team Valentina Rodionenko, the  team settled down in the Olympic Village without any problems.
Rodionenko denied the information spread by the mass media in Sunday that  the Russian gymnastics team was not allowed to move in in Brazil. She pointed out the team had not arrived in Brazil yet!
ā€œWe arrived and moved in without problems. Sill do not understand the source of this canard (ā€œduckā€ =Literal translation ) without understanding what is going on. The most important thing, everything is OK, all unpleasant things are  behindā€, she said on the phone.
IOC declined to ban the entire Russian team, and left an option for the individual federations to decide who could participate at the Rio Olympics under a series of criteria.
ā€œYou heard which conditions were the set forth, and we will be subjected to doping controlsā€, she continued. ā€œThey will shake ?? out nerves all right, but our goal is to put ourselves together and have a decent performance despite of everything,  The kind of the atmosphere over there  - this is another question. No other choice, we will fightā€.
Rodionenko added they will have no problems with the FIG. ā€œRight away the FIG, even before the IOC decision was saying that it did envision the gymnastics competition without the Russian team:, she added ( my comment ā€“ is it true?)

Russian Gymnastics Federation withdraws AIN athletes from competition

By
 An official announcement, via VK.  Google translate. Official statement of the Russian Gymnastics Federation All Russian athletes representing artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, who received "neutral status", decided to refrain from participating in the upcoming competitions under the auspices of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG). The reason for this decision is the numerous unfounded and biased refusals of the FIG special committee to allow our gymnasts to compete. The Russian Gymnastics Federation respects and shares the position of the athletes. President of the Russian Gymnastics Federation Oleg Belozerov: "I respect the athletes' decision and understand what it is dictated by. At our meeting on March 10, Mr. Watanabe said that "I would like to use all my strength to once again think about the role of sport in this world. Sport should unite and give friendship, it should not be a tool for increasing hatred. The rights of every person must be resp...

We provide a small excerpt below, and the full version is available on the website at the link below  ā“ Aliya, you are now the head coach of the junior artistic gymnastics team. What does your typical day look like? šŸ’œ My current life is similar to what it was when I was competing. In the morning, I have breakfast and go to work by 9:00, we train for four hours, have lunch, rest and train for another three hours. During the training camp, the athletes live at the base. They live and train on the same territory. ā“ Do you manage the gymnasts' personal trainers or do you evenly distribute the responsibilities? šŸ’œ We work in contact with the personal trainers, I listen to their opinions. For example, if the trainer believes that their athlete needs to be given a little rest or do fewer repetitions of a particular exercise, we do so. ā“ Describe the current generation of children.

The tragic end for Russian gymnastics

By
  Russian gymnasticsā€™ recent decision to withdraw its neutral athletes from international competition, as a protest over some offence or other, is highly uncharacteristic.   Only a few weeks ago, Russia was welcoming FIG President Watanabe into its gymnastics homes, with smiles and hugs exchanged at the highest level.   The gymnasts, including especially Angelina Melnikova, have been training assiduously for a return to the international arena.   There have been excited announcements of the names of those returning to our world of gymnastics.   Russian gymnastics has always been friendly, international and diplomatic.   Good sportsmanship is required of athletes and is generally shown, with a few notable exceptions.   During the depths of the Cold War, Russiaā€™s teams toured the world, staging friendship displays and offering workshops and training.   Russian officials have been at the heart of the sportā€™s governance since the early 1990s and e...
