Universiade 2015, Gwangju - live streaming

Image
By


The Russian artistic gymnastics teams are now safely at home in the athletes village at Gwangju, and the competition begins tomorrow.  The really good news for us is that we'll be able to watch all the action live for free online.  Check the schedule and register at http://www.livefisu.tv/live?ICID_HOM_TOP_1

There are team, all around and event finals.  Russia's top gymnast present will be Olympic medallist and European Champion, Maria Paseka, who is captaining the women's team in Gwangju.  The men's competition will be favoured by the presence of Ukrainian Oleg Verniaiev who is fresh from his victories at the European Games in Baku.  I hope he can maintain his health through the many competitive starts he is working on this year.  The funding of the Ukrainian programme is very poor and Oleg does not benefit from the financial rewards or medical support provided to his Russian and Azerbaijani colleagues.

Good luck to all the teams!  

Men's team, left to right - Alexei Rostov, Daniil Kazachkov, Kirill Potapov, Andrei Cherkasov, Mikhail Kudashov

Women's team, left to right - Daria Elizarova, Ekaterina Kramarenko, Maria Paseka, Alla Sidorenko, Polina Fyodorova

With thanks to the gymnastics group on VK.com for the pictures

NOTE ADDED 4/7 People are having trouble finding the live streaming.  If you follow the link given in the post this schedule comes up in the UK.  Scroll down to see the artistic gymnastics team preliminaries which I see as starting at 12.15.  I am assuming this will adjust to your local time but I could be wrong.  If this is BST it means the streaming is of the final subdivision when the Russian WAG will compete.  But I am only human and may have this wrong!  You can see the countdown.

 

FURTHER NOTE. In the US, the Games are being covered by ESPN.  Look under Upcoming Events, then International, then scroll down to Universiade.  The link is

    In a recent interview Oleg Vernyaev confessed that Ukrainian gymnasts are basically self-supporting. He added, "You know, at every competition the guys from Azerbaijani or Russian teams give us medicines. They know our situation. Those who moved to Azerbaijan, Oleg Stepko, for one, help us in any way they can. Gymnastics shoes, athletic tape and other necessary things."

    FYI - the FISU stream isn't showing any live events for artistic gymnastics. I used the above link and selected artistic gymnastics from the drop down menu. It says "Sorry, no live events available." I registered to see if that would make a difference. It does not. Rhythmic Gymnastics will be streamed live, but no Artistic Gymnastics unless it is on the daily highlights.

      For some reason the sport by sport guide isn't showing gymnastics - but if you go to the daily guide it is there. In the uk coverage of quals begins at just after midday. Always hoping I have read it right!

      It doesn't show up in the daily schedule either, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Would you mind sharing the irect link to the daily schedule, please? Thank you!!

      You are not the only one with this problem! Please see the note and screenshot I have added in the post above which I hope will help you to have hours of fun in Gwangju, virtually!

      This is so strange. In the US, the Team Preliminary is completely missing from today's schedule. Bummer :/

      Well, worst case scenario follow the scores here - http://m.gwangju2015.com/sport-schedule-day/?pageNo=1&the_day=07.04&disp_cd=GA&noc=

      Perhaps you should try another browser - I have colleagues in the US who evidently can see the artistic gymnastics ... Unless in your State there is a pay to view channel airing the gymnastics, I do not see why it would be excluded.

      Hey HO. That is enough broadcast controversy for today. Enjoy!

      We have a solution for you! Please see the link to ESPN above - apparently they are covering the Universiade in the US.

    Does anyone know if Paseka will be doing AA or just be a specialist?

      Fyodorova and Elizarova are doing AA. Paseka is doing vault, bars and perhaps floor.

Review of Russian WAG at the 2014 World Championships

By
The Russians during a team talk in training for the World Championships.  Courtesy RGF Bronze all the way for Russia then.  Beyond the euphoria and surprise of this morning's competition there doesn't really seem to be much to write home about. I am delighted for Aliya personally that the efforts she has made to help the team have provided her with some tangible result, but the principal feeling at the end of the competition is that of relief.  As Vaitsekhovskaya said in her article last week, there were no moments of shock and awe from the Russians, and that's what will be needed if they are to compete for gold medals in Rio (translation available here ). Let's consider a timeline of the competition : before, during and after. BEFORE The promise of a return to the Worlds stage by Viktoria Komova gave Russia a feeling of optimism pre-Russia Cup.  However, Viktoria's performance at this important competition gave little reason for celebra...

‘My daughter likes gymnastics. For us, this is the big success’. Aliya Mustafina talks to Match TV

By
Via VK.com.  Google translate A big interview with Aliya Mustafina was published on MATCH!. 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. Do they nee...

Alexander Alexandrov in his own words 1 - A Difficult Decision

By
Alexander Alexandrov with his daughter, Isa, at the statue of Christ the Redeemer, Rio.  (c) Alexander Alexandrov Russian coach Alexander Alexandrov has been prominent in the sport since 1983, when he came to the public eye as coach of the brilliant Dmitri Bilozerchev.  He has over thirty years’ experience of coaching World and Olympic Champions both in the country of his birth and in his adopted home, Houston, USA.  In his most recent position as Head Coach of the national women's artistic gymnastics (WAG) team for Russia, he quite simply resurrected his country’s gymnastics programme, re-establishing his team at the very top of the sport.  Prior to Alexandrov’s appointment, at the 2008 Olympics, Russian WAG had walked away empty handed, without medals.  At last year’s London Olympics, artistic gymnastics was one of Russia’s most successful sports.  Alexandrov’s Russia won the most gymnastics medals of any country competing, and his athlete Al...
