Cold turkey

By
Dear Readers,

I am going cold turkey on social media for a few weeks.  So I won't be posting on this blog for a while, although I might be able to moderate your comments. 

Please bear with me - I have important matters that need attending to, but I will be back sooner or later.

Thanks for your patience.

Daria Spiridonova will compete at her first World Championships this autumn.  Picture : RGF Natalia Kalugina has confirmed the Russian team for Nanning : Aliya Mustafina, Maria Kharenkova, Tatiana Nabieva,Ekaterina Kramarenko, Alla Sosnitskaya, Daria Spiridonova.  Reserve : Polina Fyodorova Here is a paraphrased translation of a comment by Natalia Kalugina on her Facebook page : 'Aliya has confidence in competition and she is, kind of, a coach to this team.  In Europe she succeeded in this role and she has told the coaches that she even liked it.

On bars, of course, Russia will probably lose to the Chinese women, but they should be able to hold

Who really won the WAG All Around?

You will find a link to the FIG's newly published book of results at the Olympic Games here .  This year, they have broken down the judge's execution scores so you can see exactly how each judge evaluated the gymnasts' performances.  It makes for interesting reading - if only I had more time to analyse each judge's marking.  A skim reading already highlights multiple inconsistencies in individual judges' marks and makes you wonder why they bother with the jury at all.

I wonder if anyone can explain how, if the FIG's Code of Points is so objective and fair, it is possible to come up with two different results using two differ

Sadly, Komova is out of the competition, replaced by Kramarenko.  We have to wait for official notification from the Federation, or from Viktoria herself, of the reason. http://www.ueg.org/images/event/114/Nominative%20entry%20ECh%20WAG%20Sofia%202014.pdf Mustafina Kharenkova Spiridinova Sosnitskaya Kramarenko Juniors Maria Bondareva Anastasia Dmitrueva Seda Tutkhalyan Angelina Melnikova Daria Skrypnik
