Russia Cup, Penza - MAG updates - Golotsutskov out

By
The Russia Cup begins today with the men's team competition and qualifications for all around and event finals.  It all should be over by around 6 pm Penza time.

Russian star Anton Golotsutskov is out of the Russia Cup - but hopes still to be in contention for the Olympics.  Picture courtesy of the RGF.

Latest news is that Olympic medalist, vault and floor specialist Anton Golotsutskov is out of the competition because of back pain.  This does not rule him out of Olympic contention.

Maxim Devyatovski (former European Champion (2007),Russian champion (2008), and Russian team member at many international competitions) will compete independently at the Russia Cup and if he achieves good results will be in contention for a place on the Olympic training squad, said national team coach Valery Alfosov.

David Belyavski, a Russian hope for the all around in London, is suffering with a pinched nerve in his shoulder.

I am constantly scouring the internet for news and evidence of online streaming - but have found nothing so far.   Rest assured I will post anything I find as soon as I possibly can, but can't always find everything - I am always very grateful for prompts which you can leave for me as comments.

    Don't panic! This happened the last time the RGF did live streaming ... they did get their technical issues sorted out by the second day, so fingers crossed for the women's competition ...
    I'll be in a meeting tomorrow so will miss the live streaming :-(

We are satisfied - Aliya Mustafina

By
Photo credit: RGF An Allsport interview today with Aliya Mustafina : http://www.allsportinfo.ru/index.php?id=83075 'I think that we are to be congratulated on this bronze medal, we are more satisfied than frustrated', said Aliya Mustafina. 'We were a new team, all the girls are young, and it's their first time in such a serious competition.  I think today we performed to the best of our ability.  Yes, we have had two falls today - on the uneven bars and balance beam.' 'The young girls failed  psychologically, but  the first time you compete on the senior podium - it's not very easy.  No  one is sad.  I  am very pleased with such a performance.  Everything  was fair enough, maybe not everywhere and in all things, but overall it was quite as expected, both our rivals, and the judging.' 'I began to experience more pain in the ankle - continued Aliya Mustafina. - To do the dismounts I had to muster all my strength and clench my teeth.  The coaches have d

Simone and the others - results and reflections

By
In the end, it was as predicted : Simone and the others, with Simone's teammate, Alexandra Raisman, providing the back up.  I do not need to point out that, by definition, the Americans are scoring significantly higher marks than the rest of the field.  Congratulations to them! Aliya Mustafina finished in third place.  The 2012 bronze medalist led the competition after vault and uneven bars, but had a very nervous outing on beam that might have taken a less experienced gymnast out of the medals.  A bravura performance on floor brought Aliya back though to confirm her third place all around.  From her senior debut in 2010 to today, Mustafina has continuously set high standards of grace.    It is the first time since 2000 that a gymnast (Amanar) has medalled in the all around at two consecutive Olympics, and  if Aliya can medal on Saturday's uneven bars final, she will once again be Russia's biggest medal winner of the women's gymnastics.  Russia's second gymnast, Sed

Russia defend team silver medal in Rio

By
It was an emotional performance and an emotional reaction at the end - but Russia is now second in the world in both MAG and WAG! The team did well, exploiting its strengths on bars and vault, and holding its own on beam.  Seda Tutkhalyan really showed her maturity and mettle with an almost perfect showing on beam and a solid, if not faultless, display on floor.  Maria Paseka did her best ever Amanar vault.  Aliya Mustafina ... was Mustafina.  Taking her fifth Olympic medal here, she scored over 60 in the AA.   The best work did come from the 2012 veterans, although Seda on beam and Daria on bars do have that special mark of Russian innovation and skill.  Angelina Melnikova looked perhaps a little overwhelmed at times - though I personally love her emotion - but this was only her first Olympics and I am certain she will be back for more.  Should she have had her personal coach on the floor with her?  It might have given her more assurance.  Is that hamstring still troubling her?  Why d
