Gymnastics No Ceiling has confirmed the full competitor list for this September's Ghent Challenger Cup (3-4 September).
Competing for Russia will be Viktoria Komova, Maria Paseka, Diana Sapronova and Maria Stepanova.
Given Alexandrov's recent announcement that this event could be used as a minor selection, I find this rather interesting. In my opinion, Komova's place on the team is probably fairly safe. Paseka, Sapronova, Stepanova may be competing for a place on the team. Paseka's strength is most definitely vault. That leg strapping looks quite heavy to me, but she looks fit and strong otherwise. Stepanova took a bronze medal on floor at this spring's Russian national championships.
At present, Komova and Sapronova are slated to compete bars and beam only, with Paseka and Stepanova appearing on floor and vault. It's still early days, though ...
