Belyavski Russia Cup Champion


David Belyavski has today won the all around competition at the Russia Cup, Penza, ahead of Sergei Khorokhodin and Igor Pakhomenko. Belyavski, who turns 20 in October, hails from Ekaterinburg where he is trained by V Lomaev and P Kitaiski.  He came to Penza after a disappointing European Championships, where his performance was compromised by a pinched nerve in his neck.


In a close competition for second place, veteran  Khorokhodin narrowly pipped Pakhomenko, by only .065.  Russia's other strong all arounder, Emin Garibov, did not compete here at the decision of the coaches.


With Anton Golotsutskov sadly reported to be doubtful for the Games (in hospital for three weeks at least),and no evidence of veteran Maxim Devyatovski in the competition, it seems likely that the Russian team in London will be dominated by the new wave of driving, ambitious gymnasts such as Belyavski, Garibov, Denis Ablyazin and Alexander Balandin.  Rings specialist Konstantin Pluzhnikov was outscored by youngster Balandin on his specialist piece and could not impress on pommel horse.

Full results of the competition can be found at the site of the Russian Gymnastics Federation and I'll provide images below of the most significant results.

Competition continues tomorrow with the much anticipated women's all around.  No news yet as to whether live streaming will be fixed in time, but I guess that as time progresses it looks more and more likely that we will have to wait another 42 days before we can see our team.

Belyavski, Khorokhodin, Pakhomenko, Russinyak, Gogotov, Ignatyev, Ignatenkov

Ablyazin, Balandin.  Balandin again scores usefully on pommels - Ablyazin confirms his position as floor, rings and vault specialist but does less to convince on high bar.

Nagorny withdraws from BRICS AA

 From Match TV:  Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics Nikita Nagorny has withdrawn from the individual all-around at the BRICS Games in Kazan. Earlier, Nagorny announced on his Telegram channel that he had decided not to continue competing in the individual all-around due to an injury and would compete in the qualification only in individual events. 💬 Life is already hinting to me that it’s time to hang up the pads (laughs). In fact, I was well prepared. I tore a blister on the first element, I wanted to jump off while performing the elements, but this is an international competition, you can’t do that, Nagorny said on Match TV. 💪 Today I lost, I admit, you need to be able to lose. I know how to do it. Perhaps a gold medal in the BRICS Games in the all-around would have given me a reason to end my career, but now I will stay until the Friendship Games. I hope I will have two more opportunities to please the fans. Now I will try to prove myself in the vault and floor exercises. I h

Interview with David Belyavski - USA and Britain will fight for bronze in Paris

 Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics David Belyavskiy said that he will perform for his own pleasure if the Friendship Games do not take place this year. 🤸"If the Friendship Games do not take place this year, then I do not see the point in straining myself too much in training, as I did before," said Belyavskiy. "I am not saying that I will end my career, but I will perform for my own pleasure. I will not set goals to win this or that. If I manage to win, then good, if not - no big deal, I perform for myself." "Every year it is becoming more and more difficult for me to prepare for competitions, so I think that there is probably no point in torturing myself," the gymnast added. ✋At the BRICS Games, Belyavskiy fought for medals only in the pommel horse exercise, where he fell, leaving him without a medal. "There was no technical error, my arm just went off the horse. It was a little out of control. It happened towards the end of the routine, when
