Russian Olympic kit

By
There is a fantastic gallery of pictures of the Russian team trying out their Olympic kit, designed by Russian company Bosco, at the RGF website.

I have also created a gallery of highlights, with captions, at my Facebook page.  Enjoy.

Tanya Nabieva and the team had a good time showing off for the cameras.


I so wish them all the very best of luck as they prepare for the Games.  And I hope to see them all smiling and happy in London.

    You know the clothes have grown in me the more I see them. I like them like I said. Poor Musty, did not like the skirt one apparently, lol. She needs to not tie the jacket so tight. I appreciate the ones with the guys shirtless or only in a shirt ;)

    However, don't like the blue and red one that the personal coach Denis is wearing though.

    Nice to see them relaxed.

    I know you're not meant to say anything negative about the Russian team in this blog but the trackie top is really horrible. Busy, distracting and boring all at once!

Watanabe campaigns for IOC President role in Russia

By
Sport is the low hanging fruit of world politics. The IOC ban on Russian athletes has kept Russian soft influence to a minimum over past years. I understand the emotion.    For example, how could Nagorny (a Russian World and Olympic champion) compete alongside Ukrainian rivals when he has openly endorsed the war, and even encouraged his Russian team mates to join up and take part in the military action? In this video  FIG President Watanabe is welcomed to Round Lake, Russia’s national training centre for gymnastics, by Russian head coach Andrei Rodionenko and the aforementioned Nikita Nagorny.    Rodionenko is a long-serving member of the international gymnastics community.    He has been head coach of Soviet, Australian, Canadian and, now, the Russian teams. Watanabe is campaigning for votes in his quest to be voted IOC President.    That’s like the Prime Minister of the UK putting himself forward as Head of NATO - it’s a big step.  ...

Date of article - 7th March 2001 Author - Vladimir Golubev Link to Russian language source -  http://viperson.ru/articles/olimpiyskaya-chempionka-razoblachaet-dvoynika Olga invited me to visit her cozy one-bedroom apartment. I see family gymnastic albums, remember her youth, and gradually ask a few questions. - What a voluminous file of documents!  It shows how much time and effort had to be expended to get to court. Correspondence, lawyer requests, decisions, resolutions, agenda ... - Actually, this story began a long time ago.  Once, German broadcaster RTL screened an interview ... with my double!   A certain woman who said that she was Olympic champion in gymnastics, Olga Kovalenk...

Tatyana Nabiyeva on work and love in China

By
Some highlights from a long interview with 2010 World champion Tatyana Nabiyeva.  Source: Russian team page on VK.com.  Translation - Google translate A big interview with Tatyana Nabieva about the peculiarities of work and life in China, the bright years of her sports career, a little about modern gymnastics and about love. On the Nabiyeva flight — At the same championship, you presented a new element on the bars, which was later added to the rules with your last name (flying over the top bar with a straight body, difficulty group F. — Sport24). How did you come up with the idea to try something new? — Actually, it happened spontaneously, I think. We worked with Vera Iosifovna [Kiryashova] on the purity of the elements on the bars, sometimes I didn’t fly all the way to the Shaposhnikova element. Once I didn’t fly all the way to the bars either and stood on my feet between the bars, bending my legs in flight for safety. Then Vera Iosifovna said that this was a different eleme...
