Rewriting Russian Gymnastics

Visit Tanya Nabieva Online to view two educational videos on artistic gymnastics (2009).  The first is a general look at gymnastics, and you can see Nabieva, Mustafina, Malikova and Musina enjoying themselves in a general run around top Moscow department store, Gum.  It's interesting to see who else you can spot in this ten minute film - Kristina Goryunova is one, but did I also see Anna Dementieva on bars?  Ludmilla Korolenko was observed marking Aliya Mustafina's floor exercise, - and also her sister, Nailya's?  The second video is a relatively unremarkable discussion of the value of magnesium to gymnasts.

Find the results of this competition at the International Gymnast website .  Interestingly, Anna Pavlova took four gold medals and one silver - the silver being on asymmetric bars.  Veteran Yulia Lozhecko also took bronze in the all around - a good competition for the veterans, then. Elsewhere, Aliya Mustafina's younger sister Nailya did well to finish in second in the junior all around.  Nailya also took gold in the beam final and came 5th in the floor final. Hope to update this site later on with some results from the Stella Zakharova Cup where Anastasia Grishina will be competing.
