I'm struck low with a virus at present but wanted to update you with the latest Russian media coverage of Mustafina and the Russian team victory. More proper writing will follow soon!
One incidental question: could I have views on the execution deductions taken from Bross's beam routine in the all around? And how did the bobble and fall affect her D score? I'm not at all code-wise and certainly don't like the code we have at present; but the score did seem to me to be somewhat out of synch with what was awarded elsewhere in the competition (14.1 for a routine with a large hiatus mid-way through, followed by a fall)
There are a few more bits and bobs of Russian press coverage that are nice to read, and one video, in German, English and Russian ('what do I have to do to make you smile?' is the final question to Mustafina).
