Rodionenko on sports development in Russia’s far east

By

‘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.’

‘My daughter likes gymnastics. For us, this is the big success’. Aliya Mustafina talks to Match TV

By
Via VK.com.  Google translate A big interview with Aliya Mustafina was published on MATCH!. We provide a small excerpt below, and the full version is available on the website at the link below  ❓ Aliya, you are now the head coach of the junior artistic gymnastics team. What does your typical day look like? 💜 My current life is similar to what it was when I was competing. In the morning, I have breakfast and go to work by 9:00, we train for four hours, have lunch, rest and train for another three hours. During the training camp, the athletes live at the base. They live and train on the same territory. ❓ Do you manage the gymnasts' personal trainers or do you evenly distribute the responsibilities? 💜 We work in contact with the personal trainers, I listen to their opinions. For example, if the trainer believes that their athlete needs to be given a little rest or do fewer repetitions of a particular exercise, we do so. ❓ Describe the current generation of children. Do they nee...

Simone and the others - results and reflections

By
In the end, it was as predicted : Simone and the others, with Simone's teammate, Alexandra Raisman, providing the back up.  I do not need to point out that, by definition, the Americans are scoring significantly higher marks than the rest of the field.  Congratulations to them! Aliya Mustafina finished in third place.  The 2012 bronze medalist led the competition after vault and uneven bars, but had a very nervous outing on beam that might have taken a less experienced gymnast out of the medals.  A bravura performance on floor brought Aliya back though to confirm her third place all around.  From her senior debut in 2010 to today, Mustafina has continuously set high standards of grace.    It is the first time since 2000 that a gymnast (Amanar) has medalled in the all around at two consecutive Olympics, and  if Aliya can medal on Saturday's uneven bars final, she will once again be Russia's biggest medal winner of the women's gymnastics.  Russ...
