Albert at the All Around Forum alerts us to some results from the Moscow Regional Championships, held 26-29 October 2010 and posted at http://www.sport-gymnastics.ru/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2425&sid=31ec44c5dfd1f31ba0f4e286fd04f553. Some of the scores noted, in particular those for Maria Paseka, Anastasia Grishina and Viktoria Malikova, appear to be those they achieved for the Russian Nationals earlier this year. I understand that these key results can be re-used for team competition purposes, in order to avoid over-competing key gymnasts who are preparing for higher profile competitions. This compromise allows the ‘home’ club to gain appropriate recognition for the achievements of their gymnasts.

I will transcribe here some of the key competition results with a view to registering some new names. Of particular interest are the achievements of Naila Mustafina, Aliya Mustafina’s younger sister ;-)

Candidate Master of Sports (girls born 1996-1997)

1. Maria Mager (1997) 53.3 + 53.8 (high score vault = 14.2; floor = 13.7)

2. Anastasia Belova (1997) 49.4 + 52.1 (high score beam = 13.8; floor = 13.8)

3. Anastasia Marchuk (1996) 50.65 + 50.75 (high score vault = 13.9)

Aliya Mustafina’s sister Naila (1996) competed here also after an absence due to injury and achieved 5th position with a total of 98.7 over two days (49.2 + 49.5). Her results in the apparatus finals of 2nd in beam (13.6) and first on floor (13.65) suggest she could have the potential to improve her placing a little.

Also performing hors de competition were a number of younger gymnasts born in 1998. I shall mention Maria Palamar who at the tender age of 11 or 12 achieved a mark of 13.3 on beam.

Winners in the individual apparatus were

Vault : Anastasia Marchuk, 13.45

Bars : Maria Mager, 13.15 (Belova must have been favourite for this with an all around bars score of 13.8, but fell and achieved a score of 11.1 in the final, ending up in 4th place)

Beam : Anastasia Belova, 13.7. Second place to Naila Mustafina, 13.6

Floor : Naila Mustafina 13.65

There was a further competition held for girls born in 1998, although I am unable to translate what it was (anybody able to clarify? The title is ВЗРОСЛЫЙ РАЗРЯД).

Apparatus final results included

Vault : Viktoria Kuzmina 13.625

Bars: Yana Vlasova 13.2

Beam: Elizabetta Yemelyanova 14.4 ;-)

Floor: Ekaterina Bryanchina 14.2

Youth results of the Master of Sports competition (men born 1989-1993) are also provided, with Alexander Klochkov (1990), Konstantin Chalov (1992) and Vycheslav Veselov (1992) sharing the main medals overall. All three seem to share vault as a strength, with scores in the 15s on this apparatus.

I always think it is nice to file these results away and remember the names to see how gymnasts progress. I love it if one of my juniors makes it to senior or even international level!

Alexander Alexandrov in his own words 1 - A Difficult Decision

By
Alexander Alexandrov with his daughter, Isa, at the statue of Christ the Redeemer, Rio.  (c) Alexander Alexandrov Russian coach Alexander Alexandrov has been prominent in the sport since 1983, when he came to the public eye as coach of the brilliant Dmitri Bilozerchev.  He has over thirty years’ experience of coaching World and Olympic Champions both in the country of his birth and in his adopted home, Houston, USA.  In his most recent position as Head Coach of the national women's artistic gymnastics (WAG) team for Russia, he quite simply resurrected his country’s gymnastics programme, re-establishing his team at the very top of the sport.  Prior to Alexandrov’s appointment, at the 2008 Olympics, Russian WAG had walked away empty handed, without medals.  At last year’s London Olympics, artistic gymnastics was one of Russia’s most successful sports.  Alexandrov’s Russia won the most gymnastics medals of any country competing, and his athlete Al...

Does Russia need Mustafina in Glasgow? Vaitsekhovskaya adds her voice

By
'Should Mustafina compete in Glasgow, considering her fragile state of health? - aren't the Olympics more important?' are the key themes of this brief news piece by Elena Vaitsekhovskaya, a top sports journalist who has interviewed Alexandrov, Arkayev, Starkin, Mustafina and Rodionenko in the last five years since Aliya won the World Championships. Elena stresses that this year nothing unusual has happened.  Aliya has worked hard with her new coach Sergei Starkin.  She did a 'great job', demonstrating her work at the European Games in Baku where she won the all around, bars and team events as well as silver in the floor exercise. But, says Vaitsekhovskaya, more important than the medals was the fact that Aliya showed a new technical level, began work on upgrades for the Rio Olympics.  Just competing in one event - the Baku games - could be enough for a veteran athlete of Mustafina's experience.  The body ages in both time - and injuries.  Athletes always respond...

Fact or fiction? The press, gymnastics and pregnancy doping

By
It was a Sunday morning.  I was drinking my coffee and contemplating the day ahead - a workout at the gym, shopping for groceries, an evening reading a book, or catching up on last night's episodes of crime thriller The Bridge .  How nice it was not to have to think about work for a day. Then I saw it - a story about the history of doping in The Observer .  Interesting reading. Of course, cheating is as old as the hills.  It is, unfortunately, human nature for some people to try to gain easy advantage in any kind of competition.  That is why we have laws, rules, ethical guidelines.  People who cheat should face justice and shouldn't complain when they are found out. But the story about pregnancy doping bothered me.  Hadn't that been found to be fictional?  The author began with Olga Kovalenko's allegations made in 1994 - but the rumours had started way back in 1991 with the documentary series More Than A Game .  The practice...
