Aliya Mustafina - 'Coaches gave her a holiday' - Valentina Rodionenko

By

Via Tass and the RGF, Valentina Rodionenko has now confirmed that multiple Olympic, World, Universiade and European gold medallist Aliya Mustafina was granted a short break during January 2014 and will return to training in February. 'Aliya is a student and has exams', said Rodionenko, 'we allowed her to devote the whole of January to herself'.  

Rodionenko acknowledged that Mustafina had worked throughout the whole of the post-Olympic year.

    I have a feeling that Valentina will use this excuse to get rid of Aliya. I hope I might be wrong, but this woman clearly doesn't like Aliya, which to be honest I don't get. What has Aliya done to deserve her hate? Is she envious or what? I also didn't see Raisa Ganina, Aliya's coach, on the list that you have post it. Strange, but I've got a bad feeling about this...

    I have had confirmation from a reliable source that Aliya, Komova, Afan and Grishina are in training at Lake Krugloye currently. Maria Kharenkova is being considered for Aeuropeans.

    Aliya herself says that her goals this year are to compete at Euros and Worlds.

      What about Shelgunova( or how do you write her name)? I mean she's 16.

      Heard nothing. She is on the senior national team. Perhaps she just isn't good enough for special mention. There are several more gymnasts on the team and we can't have updates on them all.

      I also think Mustafina will take a break this year or next for her studies, and Valentina will make it hard for her to return for Rio.

      There is no evidence to support this idea. Aliya has said she wants to compete at Euros and Worlds this year. Don't grant Valentina the power to stand in her way.

Nagorny withdraws from BRICS AA

By
 From Match TV:  Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics Nikita Nagorny has withdrawn from the individual all-around at the BRICS Games in Kazan.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

By
 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
