Belyavski preparing 2 for the Russian Cup

By

 Interview via VK.com, Google translate:


David, when did you start training this year?

šŸŽ™ "I started training in early February."


What is your current training regimen? How often do you come to the Ozero Krugloe base and train with the national team?

šŸŽ™ "So far, my regimen is more like physical education, mostly general exercises. I've been at the training camp since February 16, training with the team, but not according to the national team's plan yet."


Have you already started preparing for the Russian Cup?

šŸŽ™ "Yes, that's actually what I'm doing now ā€” preparing for the Russian Cup. I hope that I'll have time to get on the platform in top shape."


Have you already managed to adjust your combinations to the new rules?

šŸŽ™ "My combinations haven't changed much because of the new rules. The only thing that needs to be changed is one element on the pommel horse."


How many apparatuses are you planning to do in Novosibirsk?

šŸŽ™ "At the moment, I plan to perform on two apparatuses: pommel horse and parallel bars."


Can you name the main competitors in Russia on these apparatuses?

šŸŽ™ "On pommel horse and parallel bars, it's Polyashov and the young guys that I see at the training camp now - there are definitely 2-3 people."

      Nagorny has retired; I donā€™t know about Dalaloyan. As long as they prepare and compete at Russian Cup, they can be on the team. I donā€™t think Belyavski will compete as a neutral athlete though. A pity because on two apparatus I think he could make EF at worlds. I like Belyavski and he hasnā€™t been vocally in support of the war like Nagorny but it must be difficult in Russia for a man with a young family.

Svetlana Boginskaya: I was always a bitch* in gymnastics

By
Svetlana Boginskaya, 15 years old, with her medals from the Seoul Olympics Nico translates the latest interview with gymnastics legend Svetlana Boginskaya, during a recent visit to her home country of Belarus. Svetlana Boginskaya: I was always a bitch* in gymnastics, so now I ask for forgiveness from everyone who came in contact with me. The National Olympic Committee of Belarus held a press conference with three-time Olympic Champion in artistic gymnastics, Svetlana Boginskaya. The meeting was devoted to the 25th anniversary of the Olympic Games in Seoul. In South Korea the Belarussian won two gold medals in the team competition and vault. As a gift to the Olympic Hall of fame, the famous gymnast, now living in the United States, donated one of her trophies that she won at the 1990 European Championships and a pennant for Best Female Athlete of the USSR in 1989. How happy we were when we could share with such stars as Boginskaya, Scherbo, and Ivankov,...

Ukraine Olympic Committee calls for IOC to review Melnikova's neutral status

By
 I can share with you the letter dated 30 April.  The image quality is poor, but if you take your time you will be able to read it.   The reason for the review is not only Melnikova's registration as a candidate in Voronezh's regional elections, but also some fundraising events she has taken part in; and a picture of her with a 'Z' symbol, from the early part of the war. It seems that since Russia withdrew its gymnasts from competition - just a few weeks ago - opinions have hardened in favour of the War.  Melnikova has retained her silence, but others in the gymnastics community are speaking out in favour of Russia.   I'll not support these ideas.  But it's very easy for governments to influence their people.  Britain left the European Union on the back of some very questionable campaigning by leading politicians only a few years ago.  Donald Trump's government meetings are a quagmire of sycophantic nonsense as he destroys the world econ...

The Ukraine War and Russian female gymnasts

By
  War and violence are taken to be the domain of men, in the main ā€¦ but women suffer too. The Russian female gymnasts are showing a few bruises.    Our ā€˜new generationā€™ of Kalmykova, Vasilieva, Roschina, Andreeva and others look well trained, but the lack of opportunity for overseas competition must be a severe disappointment.   24 year old Melnikova has commented that her career has crossed some very interesting times ā€¦ the doping scandal with all its uncertainty, leading to neutral competition status for the team, Covid and the postponement of competitions, if not a battle with the illness itself for some individuals; and, now, the war with Ukraine, leading to sanctions against Russian competitors.    Finally, Russiaā€™s rather pointless decision to ban themselves from competition as a kind of ā€˜protestā€™ against the neutral status they were seeking for so many of their team members.   The fact that Melnikova could carry away individual and tea...
