Valery Alfosov: how much work - dream to beat the Chinese and Japanese
In Nanning (China) hosted the world championship in gymnastics. Been played 14 sets of medals. The Russian national team won six medals - one gold and five bronze. Results of performance men's team to the special correspondent of the Agency of sport information "All Sport" Mary Staroverova summed senior coach Valery Alfosov.

- Finally, we got to the house, - Valery Alfosov breathed. - The flight from Nanning took more than a day. 10 days ahead of the rest. Need to recover from China itself. Almost all of the athletes and coaches there a strong cold. Everywhere there were just mad conditioners that really blew. But without them it does - too stuffy. Well at least that in the last week on the mainland the wind blew in from the ocean, humidity is gone, it became easier. Already on 26 October, we are going on our database "Round Lake" and continue to work. On 24 October a meeting of the Presidium of the Russian Gymnastics Federation. Report back to the present head coach of Russia. Participation of senior coaches are not supposed to be. Seniors and personal trainers will only speak, agree or disagree with the plan of where povedёm of a sportsman on.

- The guys have time to relax in the 10 days?
- We do not have clear lines of seasons. Previous flows seamlessly into the next. Need to prepare new programs, learn new elements. And then for someone to start the World Cup. No more rest. Who is over the so-called active competitive level, and we gradually move to training, start preparing the program in 2015. So everyone is doing. In November and December, will spend two recovery fee. December 21 to disperse a small vacation. A Jan. 5 meet again - and will continue to work.

- New programs begin to set in January?
- No, I'm on it right away. Will reconvene on October 26 will hold a general meeting, puzzled all (smiles). Personally discussed more in China, who is working on what will work. This also applies to all-rounders and specialists in separate shells. Have a lot of individual work. Especially after the World Cup, there are clear guidelines for the work. The first world championship in the Olympic cycle is always very important. He shows how to prepare contestants for what your team is capable of. Everything falls into place. We can not say that the World Cup in Nanning gave us some puzzles or surprises.

- Speech of Russian men's team at the World Cup you evaluate how successful?
- It is. It is impossible, of course, to say that we are fully satisfied. But the guys were good. At the end of the season won gold and bronze. Prior to that, completely won the European Championship. We have many different kinds, somewhere everything turned out great, somewhere - medium, and somewhere - frankly did not work. Of course, it would be desirable that all worked out once for all, and to all the shells. I, as a senior coach, this dream! How much work - dream to beat the Chinese and Japanese. But has not yet formed. And after such starts, like the World Cup, the picture becomes clearer. It is important to understand that the modern gym - so complicated that ordinary athlete simply will not. World champions in individual shells - are unique athletes. They are, in principle, in each country, each team one by one. They show superprogram at a high level. The average athlete to win a medal is very difficult. And our team every gymnast is talented in their own way, you only need to give time to develop.

- After the World Cup a lot of criticism that the men's team loses to world leaders from the outset, on the base assessment.
- That's not true! Baseline estimates we are the same as, for example, the Japanese team. We compare and discuss the base. Even without thinking ... At Japan in the final team championship on the crossbar - the projectile, which we considered to be not very strong - Yusuke Tanaka had a base of 7.0 points, and our Kohl Kuksenkov 7.0; Kohei Uchimura - 6.5, our Nikita Ignatyev did at 6.6-6.7; third Japanese gymnast - 6.4, our David Bielawski 6.3. Well, where do we lose ?! And so I can paint all the shells. Need not assess unfounded, but to pick up the documents and compare. Many people, especially the older generation, still live yardstick of the Soviet Union. But earlier it was 15 republics, one talent of each - that's you and two or three bench. But now things have changed - the world, the life of the country, people, approaches, attitudes. Need to live in reality, not in the Soviet Union.

We are satisfied - Aliya Mustafina

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

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

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
