Alfosov’s opinion on the MAG results at Sochi so far

By

TASS reports : 


Senior coach of the Russian men's team Valery Alfosov summed up the all-around competition at the Russian Cup


đź’¬ “We stated earlier that we have a young gymnast Marinov growing up, who can become the leader of the national team,” said Alfosov. “And this happened, this year we have had a certain change of generations. Today young gymnasts are very serious competitors to their elders and to more experienced comrades on all apparatuses and even in the all-around. And the fact that at the Russian Cup all-around medals were won by young gymnasts cannot be called an accident, and I am very pleased with the progress of our youth."

“Of course, they still make a lot of mistakes, they still need to work on a lot. But the guys show modern combinations of the international level in order to be competitive in the world,” the coach added.


đź’¬ “After the final in the men’s individual all-around, the audience, I think, is disappointed with Dalaloyan’s performance,” said Alfosov. “But Arthur today made a grave mistake by performing only seven elements in the pommel horse exercise, and in principle there should be at least ten of them. This failure led to a very huge deduction, and Arthur himself dropped out of the fight for medals at the very beginning of the final. And the fact that he did not break down and worked through the entire all-around competition evokes respect for this athlete."

“Dalaloyan is not in the best shape, he devotes a lot of time to social activities. The situation with our non-admission to international competitions, which is going on for the second year, also negatively affects both his mood and the psychological state of other experienced gymnasts. The guys are adults and understand everything. But the fact that they are trying to stay in shape is also true,” the coach added.


đź’¬ “I’m a little surprised by how Vanya Kulyak performed in the all-around,” Alfosov admitted. “This gymnast had a very serious injury, we didn’t see him at the national team training camp for a long time. But he found the strength to recover and perform with dignity. Kulyak after this start has every chance of returning to the national team

By
  Angelina Melnikova has issued a statement about her participation in the Bundesliga.     The mayor of Chemnitz has withdrawn the gymnast’s invitation to participate in the final.     Angelina’s words: ‘I didn't receive an invitation to the Bundesliga final. Unfortunately, the public attention and political discussions were much greater than the organizers expected. I am grateful to TSV Tittmoning-Chemnitz for the opportunity to participate in the semi-finals and, most importantly, for their respectful and kind attitude. In Germany, I received tremendous support from spectators, athletes, coaches, and referees. A sports arena is a place where athletes meet each other and demonstrate their abilities in their favorite sport. Sport provides the opportunity to showcase the results of their hard work and athletic prowess. Everyone deserves equal opportunities in all areas of life, and every athlete deserves to compete equally in the sports arena and fulfill their dr...
