Interview with David Belyavski - USA and Britain will fight for bronze in Paris

 Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics David Belyavskiy said that he will perform for his own pleasure if the Friendship Games do not take place this year.


🤸"If the Friendship Games do not take place this year, then I do not see the point in straining myself too much in training, as I did before," said Belyavskiy. "I am not saying that I will end my career, but I will perform for my own pleasure. I will not set goals to win this or that. If I manage to win, then good, if not - no big deal, I perform for myself."


"Every year it is becoming more and more difficult for me to prepare for competitions, so I think that there is probably no point in torturing myself," the gymnast added.


✋At the BRICS Games, Belyavskiy fought for medals only in the pommel horse exercise, where he fell, leaving him without a medal. "There was no technical error, my arm just went off the horse. It was a little out of control. It happened towards the end of the routine, when I had less strength, of course," the athlete noted.


💪"I prepared for the BRICS Games very well, I had two productive training camps. I was in the mood for a real international competition, and I went out with that attitude on the first day and the second," the gymnast concluded.


💻"We'll watch the Olympics, of course, if there are broadcasts," Belyavsky said. "But if the broadcast is, for example, at 3 a.m., then, of course, I won't watch it. If I got it, I watched it, if I didn't, it's not scary. I definitely won't set reminders on my phone that I have to watch gymnastics."


🏅"I think that China and Japan will be the favorites, and there will be a fight for third place. The USA and Great Britain will probably fight," the Russian gymnast answered the question of who, in his opinion, will claim gold in the men's team tournament in Paris

Listunova interview

 Google translate from VK.com -  Match TV talked to Victoria Listunova about the Olympic summer without participating in the Games, recovery, and memories of Tokyo three years later. We are copying several fragments, and the full interview is available on the Match TV website ❓ Victoria, how are you feeling? How was your recovery from the injury? Was it an old problem or some kind of force majeure? 💬 The injury may have been cumulative, it was not immediately revealed, I am now trying to train in the same volume as before. I am restoring my program. It took a long time for rehabilitation. From April until mid-summer, I was completely without loads, so that the injury would heal and never bother me again. But it is not like I was resting all summer. I was constantly present at the training camps, went through all the recovery procedures. At first there was complete rest, then I trained as much as possible without pain. So there were trainings, but in a minimal mode. In the sum...
