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. But this tournament is an intermediate before the World Cup in Glasgow, and none of the medalists of Baku is not yet guaranteed a place in the national team in the main competition of the season. "

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. "

Maria Filatova: Russian Sparrow Made in the USSR

Maria Filatova – the first ever picture taken of her doing gymnastics! By kind permission of Maria Filatova Kourbatova My first memory of Maria Filatova is a little girl with huge, white ribbons in her hair, so tiny she seemed to have to stand on tiptoe to be able to see over the balance beam.  At 4’ 6” tall, she was the smallest competitor at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, yet she was already part of the Soviet senior team, competing alongside such established stars as Ludmilla Tourischeva, Nelli Kim, Elvira Saadi and Olga Korbut.  The ‘Siberian Sparrow’, trained in Leninsk-Kuznetsk by Innokenty Mametyev since a very early age, celebrated her 15 th birthday on the 19 th July 1976, the day of the team final.  That night, she slept with her first – not her last - Olympic gold medal beneath her pillow. For all her cuteness, Maria Filatova was a fearsome gymnast and competitor.  If the crowd were awed by the pyrotechnics of Romanian technician Nadia Comaneci, they we...

The State of Gymnastics - 'Soviet' or 'American' style?

Lioudmilla Tourischeva, 1972 Olympic All Around champion in artistic gymnastics, was held up as an example of the ideal Soviet citizen.  Here she coaches one of the Soviet Union's leading gymnasts from the 1980 Olympics, Natalia Shaposhnikova The Soviet Union had a genius for lifting sport beyond the textbook, injecting the aesthetic where previously only goals had been in plain view.   This was not only manifest in gymnastics.  Do you remember the ‘Russian Five’, the players who elevated ice hockey to a creative sporting display, mesmerising their opponents and spectators with intricate patterns of play, so rhythmic and entertaining that they could have been set to music?   In gymnastics, a sport where the aesthetic counted as much as the outcome, it was this ability to create spectacle out of competition that resulted in the most extraordinary athletic performances.  The ‘Golden Era’, most commonly understood to cover the years from 1952-1...

Now read on ... Interview with Dmitry Zanin (correspondent). A couple of years ago an interview with Aliya was a difficult test for a journalist, but now everything is quite different.  - So was your job simply to win and nothing else?  Or just to compete with all your strength and show everything that you can do? Aliya - Not at all, you can't set a target to win or to take first place - the task was the same for everyone.  We had to compete our programmes, perform well enough and then the result will follow.  - How is your health, how much of your programme is ready, do you have pain? Vika - No trouble or pain, I am about 70% ready.  It is hard to compete...
