A photo report of today's women's qualifications can be found on the Russian Federation's website.
It's a bit difficult to identify all of these pictures. But I think I recognise the following gymnasts:
Viktoria Komova, both ankles strapped, on both bars and beam (on bars, supported by Elfimov)
Ksenia Semenova, on bars and floor, looking fit and sharp (supported by Nazarova on bars)
Ksenia Afanasyeva
Anna Dementieva, looking confident and happy
Maria Paseka on bars, with a heavy strapping on lower leg
Diana Sapronova, elegant and powerful on floor
Ekaterina Kurbatova
Tatiana Nabieva on bars
Maria Dunaeva
?Yulia Belokobylskaya on bars
Anna Pavlova
Tatiana Sovoliova
As soon as I have access to any results, I'll post.
Edited, 18.00 Wednesday 17th February - another link here with some photographs of yesterday's podium training featuring Musina, Nabieva, Belokobylskaya, Stepanova. Still no results of today's qualifications, though first reports (thanks to Tess on the Russian language gymnastics board) say that Afanasyeva seems to be on top form, with Dementieva, Afanasyeva, Semenova and Komova all presenting new choreography on floor. Komova performed on all four apparatus, falling on one of her floor tumbles but looking generally good, outstanding on bars. Dementieva has also now mastered a double twisting Yurchenko vault.
