Rodionenko: if our boys were not mistaken, could be in the top three.
Head coach of the Russian national gymnastics Valentine Rodionenko analyzed the causes of the failure of Russian gymnasts in the team competition at the World Championships in Nanning.

    "The first five teams in the final team tournament were equal. But when Ladder comes in three protruding athletes can not be wrong. And our - wrong. First Nikita Ignatyev mistake on the uneven bars, and very well. Then the horse wrong Nikolai Kuksenkov. And yet ... What we said to the finals: who makes a mistake - one of the three will not fall. None of the teams that are ahead of us, not wrong. After all, our children are very worthy program. I can not understand what's going on with the guys. It seems that Nikita Ignatyev not a beginner, an experienced athlete. We will analyze and talking. In my opinion, after qualifying was incorrect installation - just to be in the eight. After all, in the final of the first five teams are located so as came out of the training. And the judges formed a certain impression from which it is difficult to escape. We still subjective judging. Of course, if our boys were not mistaken, could be in the top three.

    The team was ready to fight for the third place. At the Olympics - 2012 we were sixth, at the World Cup before the Games - the same six. Now become the fifth. Advanced only at one place. It is very unfortunate. The guys are ready, they correspond to the potential of the program of struggle for the prize. And it is impossible. There is a lack of confidence. It is difficult to understand why our guys are uncertain. Forgotten how to win, or what? Here there is no assurance that we should be in the money! None of this. And how is it to invest, I do not know "- quoted Rodionenko agency" All Sport ".

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.

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...
