None of the Russian participants of the tournament in gymnastics at the European Games in Baku does not guarantee a place in the national team at the October World Championships in Glasgow. This was stated by head coach TASS Russian gymnastics Andrew Rodionenko.

Russian gymnasts at the Olympic Games in Baku won four gold, four silver and three bronze awards. The Russians had no equal in the men's and women's team competitions. The main heroine of the competition was the 2012 Olympic champion Aliya Mustafina, which in addition to gold in the team tournament also won the award the highest dignity in the individual all-round and in the exercise on the parallel bars. The assets of the gymnasts have also silver in floor exercise. The vault was the winner of the silver award young Seda Toutkhalian that only the first season in favor of the senior team.

With four awards Baku-2015 will return home another debutant team of Russia Nikita Ignatyev, who was second in the exercise on the rings, and the third - in the individual all-around and on the bar. David Bielawski won the silver medal in the Uneven Bars, and "Bronze" - the floor exercise.

"I would not attach this start in Baku some special significance - said Rodionenko. - Yes, we came here to fight for the first places.

Let's see how he will develop business further ", - he continued the coach.

Games for medals in the individual exercises there was a fierce fight, the referee was very difficult to identify the strongest in every form. According to many experts, performances Aliya Mustafina in the floor exercise and uneven bars Beliavsky David were worth more than silver medals. "I have no claims to the arbitrators - said Rodionenko. - They work as they can. And artists need to work as they are able. Find the causes of failures in the judges - to show their own weakness. "

Nelli Kim - 'Russian gymnastics has closed in on itself' - Lupita translates

Lupita has translated this ITAR-TASS interview with Nelli Kim.  It's controversial, to say the least. Ed's note : much of the initial response to this interview - both here and in the wider gymternet -  has focussed on the detail of Kim's words and especially her comments about Viktoria Komova, and smiling.  But I think these have to be taken in context, and not too literally.

Russian national gymnastics continues to prepare for the World Championships, which will be held October 3-12 in Nanning (China).
