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 :-(

‘My daughter likes gymnastics. For us, this is the big success’. Aliya Mustafina talks to Match TV

By
Via VK.com.  Google translate A big interview with Aliya Mustafina was published on MATCH!. We provide a small excerpt below, and the full version is available on the website at the link below  ❓ Aliya, you are now the head coach of the junior artistic gymnastics team. What does your typical day look like? 💜 My current life is similar to what it was when I was competing. In the morning, I have breakfast and go to work by 9:00, we train for four hours, have lunch, rest and train for another three hours. During the training camp, the athletes live at the base. They live and train on the same territory. ❓ Do you manage the gymnasts' personal trainers or do you evenly distribute the responsibilities? 💜 We work in contact with the personal trainers, I listen to their opinions. For example, if the trainer believes that their athlete needs to be given a little rest or do fewer repetitions of a particular exercise, we do so. ❓ Describe the current generation of children. Do they nee...

Alexander Alexandrov in his own words 1 - A Difficult Decision

By
Alexander Alexandrov with his daughter, Isa, at the statue of Christ the Redeemer, Rio.  (c) Alexander Alexandrov Russian coach Alexander Alexandrov has been prominent in the sport since 1983, when he came to the public eye as coach of the brilliant Dmitri Bilozerchev.  He has over thirty years’ experience of coaching World and Olympic Champions both in the country of his birth and in his adopted home, Houston, USA.  In his most recent position as Head Coach of the national women's artistic gymnastics (WAG) team for Russia, he quite simply resurrected his country’s gymnastics programme, re-establishing his team at the very top of the sport.  Prior to Alexandrov’s appointment, at the 2008 Olympics, Russian WAG had walked away empty handed, without medals.  At last year’s London Olympics, artistic gymnastics was one of Russia’s most successful sports.  Alexandrov’s Russia won the most gymnastics medals of any country competing, and his athlete Al...

Fact or fiction? The press, gymnastics and pregnancy doping

By
It was a Sunday morning.  I was drinking my coffee and contemplating the day ahead - a workout at the gym, shopping for groceries, an evening reading a book, or catching up on last night's episodes of crime thriller The Bridge .  How nice it was not to have to think about work for a day. Then I saw it - a story about the history of doping in The Observer .  Interesting reading. Of course, cheating is as old as the hills.  It is, unfortunately, human nature for some people to try to gain easy advantage in any kind of competition.  That is why we have laws, rules, ethical guidelines.  People who cheat should face justice and shouldn't complain when they are found out. But the story about pregnancy doping bothered me.  Hadn't that been found to be fictional?  The author began with Olga Kovalenko's allegations made in 1994 - but the rumours had started way back in 1991 with the documentary series More Than A Game .  The practice...
