Viktoria Komova, Maria Paseka, Tatiana Solovyova and Maria Stepanova participated in this weekend's World Cup event in Ghent, a well attended competition with the exception of the USA and Romania. The Russian men were represented by Andrei Cherkasov, Anton Golutsotskov and Dimitri Stolyarov.
China really showed great promise here, winning four of the gold medals.
Viktoria Komova performed excellently to win bars but suffered a fall on beam, ending in 5th place. This was a useful warm up for Tokyo and, surprisingly, Viktoria's first international senior competition. Elsewhere, Maria Paseka did not look quite repaired from her injury, struggling with her landings on floor and looking rather flat on vault.
Albert at the All Around Gymnastics news was present and did some fantastic quick hits (how does he manage to watch the routines, write down the skills and keep track of scores all at once? Does he have an executive assistant?). Elsewhere, I think the Gymnastics Examiner provides the most comprehensive results round up.

LOL, I'm a fast typer and some routines I know them by heart, so I know what they are doing beforehand. But I can assure you that sometimes I get confused watching 6 routines at the same time.
