The coach of Chinese gymnasts believes that Paseka and Nabieva made the team stronger


Russians worked as coaches in the Chinese women's artistic gymnastics team from October 2022 to August 2023


KAZAN, November 22. /TASS/. Russian artistic gymnastics world champions Maria Paseka and Tatyana Nabieva, who worked as coaches with the Chinese women's team, made the team even stronger. This opinion was expressed to TASS by the coach of the Chinese team, Zhou Shiping, during a match between the junior artistic gymnastics teams of Russia and China in Kazan.


In October 2022, Paseka and Nabieva left for China to work with the country’s women’s national team. In August, after the expiration of the contract with the Chinese Gymnastics Association, they returned to Russia.


“Paseka and Nabieva worked very friendly together with our Chinese coaches. They helped our athletes a lot. The gymnast who worked with Nabieva became first at the World Youth Championships in the balance beam exercise. She [Nabieva] worked in the group, and there are an athlete who took first and second places at the World Youth Championships on the balance beam and floor exercise,” he said.


The trainer added that Chinese and Russian specialists have their own specifics and peculiarities in their teaching methods. During their work together, they were able to exchange experiences and learn a lot from each other. “Our athletes also treated both coaches well and highly appreciated their methods and training, they became very close friends. It’s a pity that they could not stay and continue working with us,” added Zhou Shiping.

Nelli Kim - 'Russian gymnastics has closed in on itself' - Lupita translates

By
Lupita has translated this ITAR-TASS interview with Nelli Kim.  It's controversial, to say the least. Ed's note : much of the initial response to this interview - both here and in the wider gymternet -  has focussed on the detail of Kim's words and especially her comments about Viktoria Komova, and smiling.  But I think these have to be taken in context, and not too literally. Don't forget that just a day ago Andrei Rodionenko complained bitterly about the judging in Antwerp, calling Kim's behaviour 'aggressive'. Kim is responding to this here, and to the wider current context of Russian gymnastics.  What she is essentially saying to the Russian coach is 'get your own house in order, produce confident, disciplined, well trained gymnasts - stop complaining, do your job, and I will do mine.'   She goes about saying this in a somewhat long winded way and says some things along the way that seem contradictory, unfair, inappropriate even for th...

30 years in elite sport: Oksana Chusovitina

By
You've been competing internationally for over 30 years. How has gymnastics changed over that time? Is there anything about your sport that has remained the same for decades? First of all, the age has changed. More mature athletes are competing now, which makes me happy. Secondly, the apparatuses. They've become more comfortable and sophisticated. Gymnastics in general has become more challenging, but in my youth, people performed mostly the same elements as they do now. Back then, this was par for the course, but now it surprises many. It's a bit amusing. Has the nature of the training itself changed? For me personally, absolutely. Now, my life isn't just about my athletic career. I'm involved with the Oksana Chusovitina Academy, which was personally opened by the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev. It has 155 students, both girls and boys. I used to train three times a day, but now I train once. The entire afternoon is taken up with the academy and organi...
