MAG team captain, Emin Garibov, will return to full training in January after a break to rehabilitate a shoulder injury

Albert Starobutsev of Tass has confirmed via an interview with head coach Valeri Alfosov the status of gymnasts competing for the senior national team.  In addition to the return of the two stars Garibov and Balandin, he also explained that Russia's only gold medallist at the recent Nanning World Championships, Denis Ablyazin, is resting following an operation on his nose.  He also gave details of Russian participants at some upcoming end of season competitions.

'In April this year, Garibov had an operation on a sore shoulder.  This was a serious surgical procedure and excluded the possibility for the gymnast to compete this season. Balandin also has  problems with the shoulder joint, and had to undergo surgery shortly before the World Championships in China, which was held in early October.'
 
'Balandin will begin to train only at the beginning of next year', - said Alfosov.  'We hope to see him back on the team in January. He is now at home undergoing rehabilitation after surgery and is in close contact with his doctor. As for Garibov, he is now based at "Round Lake." He is slowly trying his hand on the equipment, and will be back in full training from January 2015.'

Denis Ablyazin is now also missing workouts. "He just recently had surgery on his nasal septum and tonight returned from Germany', he told Tass. 'He is missing the current team camp, but in December will resume training at Round Lake'.

Russian men's team camp began on October 26th. After this, Nikolai Kuksenkov and David Belyavski will travel to Stuttgart, Germany to perform at the Challenge Cup. Women's team leader Aliya Mustafina, and Alla Sosnitskaia will also represent the team
.
'Three more of our athletes will be performing at the same time in another tournament, which will take place in Germany.   And we will always have a couple of the strongest gymnasts at the December Voronin Cup which will be held in Moscow' - added Alfosov.

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.  ...

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...
