Bloggers beware!

Hello everyone

It has recently come to my attention that someone has been copying my blog - yes, in its entirety. In fact there are a number of blogs out there purporting to be me. This is not only very annoying - the blog represents six years of very hard work - it is also plagiarism, and a legal breach of my copyright in my writing and presentation of the work.

I am happy if people refer to my blog and give credit, but not to be plagiarised lock, stock and barrel, and I will be pursuing this matter to try to set things straight. In the meantime, please note that the only real Rewriting Russian Gymnastics blog is here.


Any other blog is a mere imitation!  Please only visit this URL or the associated Facebook and Twitter pages, if you want to read my work.

Down with pirates!

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 have taken the time to look at the reference judges' scores for the top four in the women's all around.  The FIG explains here what their role is, and how they are selected.  I even used my calculator, which is a risky thing in my hands.  My, how I wish we could have seen a similar document for the Tokyo World Championships. 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...

Listunova to attempt qualification for Euros

By
Àn interview by Sergei Lisin for Sports Express Google translate. "The young    gymnasts have more experience now." Listunova on preparing for the European Championships qualifiers. Gymnast Listunova spoke about her preparations for the European Championships qualifiers. Sergei Lisin  The Olympic champion is ready to return to the international arena after World Gymnastics lifted sanctions. On May 18, World Gymnastics reinstated Russia's flag at international competitions. This immediately opened the door for Viktoria Listunova to compete at the World Challenge Cup and World Championships, which will be held in the Netherlands this fall.

Komova should have won!

By
It was a very tight battle in the North Greenwich arena today, with American Gabby Douglas beating out Viktoria Komova by a mere 0.259 points (see results below) and the legendary Aliya Mustafina sealing her comeback from that career-threatening injury with a well deserved bronze medal. Yes, she suffered a fall from beam after her Arabian somersault but elsewhere she was at her best, a real endorsement of the work of the Russian coaches in nursing her back to almost-top form since that fateful day in 2011. Komova had a faultless competition apart from a step on landing her Amanar vault. Frankly, she must feel utterly shattered after coming second once again by a very small margin to an American who was treated very generously by the judges. Komova soared and took every beam move to the max, rounding off with her rare double Arabian dismount in fine style; Douglas literally sidled along the beam, seeming frightened to take her feet off the apparatus for all but her somersaults. Kom...
