‘Vladimir Putin approved a list of instructions following a meeting of the Presidential Council for the Development of Physical Culture and Sports. These included the creation on Russky Island and in Vladivostok of centers for martial arts, artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, hockey, swimming, boxing, a tennis academy and an athletics arena as part of a federal sports and training center for training Russian national teams.


💬 For a country of the size of Russia, it is important that in different regions there are educational and training centers that correspond to the most modern level of development of sports, including the highest achievements. The Far East needs such a center. We have repeatedly discussed the prospect of its creation, including within the framework of the Presidential Sports Council. I think this is very correct and timely,” Titov told Match TV.


💬We raised the issue of creating a base there for a very long time. This is a part of Russia where there are few gymnastics halls, and in general the Far East was away from artistic gymnastics. Now there are coaches there, the sport has begun to actively develop. We have Lilya Akhaimova from the Far East, but she became a top-level gymnast when she was transferred to the center of the national teams. In general, the conditions necessary for training high-level athletes did not exist there before. Therefore, we are very glad that such a training center will appear in the Far East; it is very much needed there. There is a large selection of people to work with. Artistic gymnastics will seriously improve in the Far East after the creation of this center, Rodionenko told Match TV.’

Mustafina on Roschina

By
ROTTERDAM (Netherlands), October 24. /TASS/. Russian gymnast Lyudmila Roshchina, who won silver in the individual all-around at the World Championships, succeeded precisely because she focused on challenging herself rather than competing for medals. This is the assessment of Aliya Mustafina, a coach for the Russian national team and a two-time Olympic champion, who spoke to TASS. "Of course, I wasn't certain that Lyudmila would end up on the podium in the all-around, though I certainly hoped she would," Mustafina said. "The general instruction was not to think about medals or rankings. As they headed from the warm-up area to the competition floor, I told the girls: 'Don't worry about where you place—just focus on challenging yourselves.' And Lyusya managed to do exactly that." "Her mindset played a major role, too; she was in a very positive frame of mind even back in the warm-up area. So, I wouldn't say that winning this silver was an incre...

Aliya Mustafina - 'each medal is very special'

By
'I'm very happy that everything turned out well today  ... Each medal is very special.  The UK team made mistakes, so there was a wide margin [of victory]... But naturally, [what I did] is not enough for the Olympics.  I prepared well for beam and bars but I am not ready for floor, I stepped up to help the team. ... To be honest, I did not look at the scores [when asked how the team reacted to the 6.5 gap before the final apparatus].  Gelya (Melnikova) is a good girl, she did everything and did not falter ... Seda fell on quite a complex element.  There is more work to do, but everything else went well.' [About a protest taken by the coaches on her beam score]. 'I am used to my protests being rejected, everything is normal!' Via vk.com I n other news , the UEG has confirmed that Spiridonova will replace Melnikova in tomorrow's bars final. No reason is given, but it is generally considered that Dasha has a better chance of gold.  This decision also means tha...

Roschina on her success in Rotterdam

By
  — Let’s sum up the World Championships. How did it go for you? — First of all, it was a great learning experience for me. Overall, the competition went well, though there is still room for improvement. — If someone had told you before the World Championships that you would take second place in the individual all-around, how would you have reacted? — I probably would have been surprised. I’m not even sure what else to say to that. — How difficult was it to be the leader of the women’s team in the absence of Angelina Melnikova? — I tried to encourage the girls, and they encouraged me as well. I think that, overall, we were a good team. But Angelina is still our leader, and I will look up to her. — I spoke with coach Aliya Mustafina, and she mentioned that the competition within the national team will be even tougher next year…  — It’s great to have such strong competition; it gives you something to strive for and an incentive to keep working. — Did you start out in artistic gy...
