WAG qualifications - some links

By

The Russian women step forward today to begin the defence of their team silver medal from the last Olympics, and to try to qualify to as many finals as possible.

I am not going to try to second guess the BBC's online, red button and other coverage today - it seems we just have to scrabble to find out where the best coverage is.  The BBC is giving us wall to wall coverage of what matters, the action, and we are very lucky to have them even if it does annoy tidy-minded old me that there is no trustworthy definitive guide to what, where and when.  We'll manage.  The root guide is here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live-guide. After that, it is a question of channel hopping.  Everything will be online if not on the TV.

Start lists are here - http://sportgymrus.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Startlist-s1-zhenshhiny-.pdf or you can visit RRG's Facebook page to view them.

Here are the lists of the subdivisions, and starting orders - 

Rio start times for each subdivision are - 

Sub 1 - 09.45
Sub 2 - 11.30
Sub 3 - 14.30
Sub 4 - 17.30
Sub 5 - 20.30

I can't find a separate listing on the BBC website for a broadcast of subdivision 2.  Judging by the timings, I am guessing that this means that coverage of subdivisions 1 and 2 will be continuous.

You can follow live scoring at the FIG website, always hoping that it works.  https://live.fig-gymnastics.com/schedule.php?idevent=6405

Good luck to all the gymnasts!

Andrei Rodionenko explains Russia's performance at Worlds - Lupitatranslates

By
Rodionenko with European Champion David Belyavski  Courtesy RGF/Elena Mikhailova This is the interview that many people on the internet have already commented on, regarding Andrei Rodionenko's alleged racism.  The original, Russian language version, appears on VTB Bank's website (VTB are sponsors of Russian gymnastics).  It takes cleverer people than me to decide what is racism, what is deliberately perjorative, and what is inferred in an interviewer's question.  For now, I will not comment on this, therefore, but I would ask you to read Lupita's translation carefully before you form your own opinion.   I am providing some links below which might help you to decide where you stand.

Viktoria Komova - apology

By
Viktoria wrote some hasty words last night in the heat of the moment.  We all have such times, when hurt feelings lead us to behave uncharacteristically.  It is not important what she said; it is important that Vika has reflected and wants us all to read this message which she published on VK.com this morning. "Dear friends! I want to apologize for my statements about American girls, about drugs, all my words were spoken on emotions. Of course I haven't any proof and didn't really mean it and so on... I am so sorry. I want to apologize for my character to all of you". Vika, we are still with you every step of the way.
