Leonid Arkayev for Aliya's coach!

He managed the Russian team to during the worst historical gymnastics time. He is the one who recruited Alexandrov. He advised the Koreans on building their vault capacity.

If they want to bet on artistry, they definitively need a better choreographer, Soviet if possible +a better choice of music.
