Despite the terrible quality of this video, it's worth a look to see all the exciting new difficulties the gymnasts were rehearsing in this pre-Olympic year - and remember, this was 23 years ago. The gymnasts featured, in the order that the skills appear (and with due respect to the occasional inadequacies of my transliteration), are Shushunova Priakhina V. Sarkyoan (?) Zadorozhni Schepochkin Porpenko Priakina Shushunova Schepochkin Kharkov Priakhina x 2 Rodion Martsinkiv Tikhonkikh You can also find a link to the original video on Youtube, here .
Reporting and analysing Russian gymnastics since 2010. Includes original and exclusive interviews with leading coaches and gymnasts, and historical issues dating back to the Soviet Union. The first blog to report extensively on the sport using Russian language sources. I read, I argue, and I have opinions. Be warned.
