Viktoria Komova news

By

Viktoria is in the news in Russia at the moment.  There is this TV interview in which she discusses her injury, the future, and her team mates.  Can anyone translate?  https://youtu.be/kgKnkP-HY0g

Our kind Anonymous contributor tells me that Vika says she has "Грыжa и протрузия позвоночника"  which I think means she has a herniated, or bulging, disc in her spine.  Ouch.

In an interview with Albert Starodubtsev, Valentina Rodionenko says that Viktoria is travelling to Munich on 20th July.  Viktoria says that if the doctors say they cannot help her, she will retire.

Other news

Maria Kharenkova is back training in Lake Krugloye, again thanks to Anonymous.  The 2014 European beam champion has been suffering leg pain.

I am also told by a private (unofficial) source that Tatiana Nabiyeva is back training on the national team again.  After her improved performances at Russia Cup, this is well deserved. (Thanks, Jared!)

Good luck to all the returning athletes!  Your efforts will be very important to the team.

    Hi
    I got most of the interview, I had trouble with hearing the interview questions, but Vika's answers were clear. It took place before The Cup.
    I am not leaving now – I need to restore my health and look further. Will continue if I am well.
    If not – regretfully will have to leave (quit). All athletes have traumas, like hernia, protrusion. In my case, regretfully, it prevents from training. Treatment did not work, nothing worked. I had a trauma, and 6 months after the Olympics my back started hurting. My coach thought of it as the result of growth – height, weight. Protrusion must have been before. The back started hurting, and still hurts. Of course, we tried everything: manual therapy, acupuncture, shots, and regretfully, nothing worked.
    I will work out the trip to Germany. They will look there and may suggest treatment

    We have our own Gela Milinkovic, she is very well prepared; also Sedan, a very good athlete. Dashka Spiridonova, World Bar Champion. A very good gymnast.
    I am going to the Russia Cup, look at everyone, had not seen them for a long time, hope they added on (improved). Of course, watching gymnastics. When I came to Penza, they sent hello, a card.
    We miss each other – so many years together, now in different places. I will go and support as much as I cane.
    Now I am finishing up college, one more year. Thinking of coaching. Now honestly, not thinking about it- let’s say I was not ready for this. May be I will coach, but worried will not be able to do well. I have Avery good coach who will help with advice.

    I look at everyone – some for artistry, elegance, beauty. It was our strength, but Americans had jumps and were strong. Yes, gymnastics has a lot of difficult moves.
    Yes, made mistakes. The vault in the Olympic did not come out. I would have returned and stopped paying attention to sores and fought f or the medals, Forgive everyone, but my health is more important. In my career, I did a lot, now is the time to take care of my health.
    _ If they take me, of course I will go (presumably to Rio) to cheer for the girls.
    Now with everyone happiness and health.
    Hope this helps.

By
From sport.ru via vk.com.  Google translate  A big interview with Anastasia Loginova from Sport24 with Lyudmila Roshchina following the Strongest Cup, where the gymnast won four out of five gold medals. We quote several fragments, the full version is available on the publication's website, link at the end. ❓ The Strongest Athletes Cup has recently ended. Did you have time to analyze your performances? 💬 I just rewatched the broadcast, looked at my shortcomings. ❓ Did you set a medal plan for this start? 💬 I didn't think about it. Only that I needed to do my program - and then what will happen. ❓ Did you have time to discuss the competition with your coach? 💬 She praised me, said that I was great. She didn't scold me for mistakes on the beam - on the contrary, she supported me. ❓ Can we say that the beam is your weak spot? This is the only final you didn't get to. 💬 Probably yes. I have this apparatus that is a bit unpolished, so to speak. Treacherous. I need to work...
