Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics Victoria Listunova, who suffered a serious leg injury in February, is currently undergoing rehabilitation and hopes to compete in the Russian Championships, which will be held in the fall. The athlete told TASS about this.


Listunova tore her Achilles tendon in February during training. The athlete was immediately operated on, after which she began a long medical rehabilitation.


🤸"Recovery is going well, everything is on schedule, everything is as it should be - we are not ahead and not late," Listunova said. "Of course, yes, there are difficulties, but I am slowly and gradually bringing myself up to some exercises, as well as landings or even a push-off. As for the timing of my return to competitions, everything will depend on my physical condition."


💬"The doctors say that the recovery is going well, there are no problems. Of course, there is a desire to return to competitions as soon as possible, I will soon have UMO, the doctors will examine my leg again, and then some certainty may come. As for plans, of course, I want to return for the Russian Championship. And compete there at least on one or two apparatuses," the gymnast concluded.

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...

Who really won the WAG All Around?

By
You will find a link to the FIG's newly published book of results at the Olympic Games here .  This year, they have broken down the judge's execution scores so you can see exactly how each judge evaluated the gymnasts' performances.  It makes for interesting reading - if only I had more time to analyse each judge's marking.  A skim reading already highlights multiple inconsistencies in individual judges' marks and makes you wonder why they bother with the jury at all. I have taken the time to look at the reference judges' scores for the top four in the women's all around.  The FIG explains here what their role is, and how they are selected.  I even used my calculator, which is a risky thing in my hands.  My, how I wish we could have seen a similar document for the Tokyo World Championships. I wonder if anyone can explain how, if the FIG's Code of Points is so objective and fair, it is possible to come up with two different results using two differ...
