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!

‘We all love her very much’ - Roschina speaks of Mustafina and the need to perfect an Amanar vault

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...
