  2. Dear Queen E,

    Do you have any videos or news of today's events? I was hoping may be you had video of Seda' beam or Shelgunova's floor? I really enjoy your posts and I hope you keep up the good work!

    1. The Georgian Federation hasn't released official results. There are video links in the previous post - and check RRG's Twitter and Facebook pages for pics of the Day 2 medal ceremonies.

  3. Do you by any chance know what's happening with Grishina? Is she coming back any time soon? I miss her :(

  4. Did something happen to Afanasyeva? I know she was only doing vault but her score seems pretty low. Really hoping she hasn't got injured!!

  5. Afanasyeva had a mistake here but is continuing to prepare for Worlds.
    Grishina's situation hasn't changed since the last time I gave an update on RRG - still recovering from her knee injury and unlikely to train for the Olympics.
    No further information officially available.

    2. Hi Queen Elizabeth, I am wondering if this is the article anonymous saw (link below). It was posted July 25th, although it references sports.ru as the source and I can't seem to find anything on Grishina on sports.ru so not entirely sure if it can be considered reliable. I am no familiar this 'wo gymnast' site. Perhaps another reader can help hunt it down. It mentions that Russia posted a list of potential Rio candidates. Courtesy of the RGF. I would be very curious to see such a published list if such an article is out there.

    3. There was a list and Nastia wasn't on it. Sources close to Nastia tell me she is unlikely to make Rio and certainly she isn't on the official training squad.
      I don't report every minute detail on this blog at the moment - there is too much and everything changes all the time. The best way to determine whether Nastia will even try for Olympics will be to see whether she competes at Russia Cup in September and then at Rusdian nationals in the spring. The list that was earlier published included those gymnasts currently preparing for Glasgow and May well change moving forward.

    1. This assertion is completely false and does not come from a reliable source. Just because Aliya hasn't posted pictures of herself in training for a few days, people are making up rumours about her.
      We will find out for sure who is on the Russian team on the day that the team arrives in Glasgow. Could we please stop these pointless little speculations for the time being?
      I will publish any official news I hear on this blog as soon as I hear it, and will attribute it to the source - but there really is no news at all apart from a few tittle-tattling mischief makers! :-)

  8. Btw on instagram picture : Svetlana Ishmouratova (2006 olympic gold madalist in women's biathlon) and Dmitri Sautin ( 8 time olympic medalist and 2 time olympic champion diver)

  9. Well V.Rod is reliable source for you? If yes, then in her latest interview in "All sport " before Batumi she said "Mustafina have enough starts in this season- FIN" What can be more reliable confirmation...

    1. I am aware of this interview. It confirms absolutely nothing as regards anyone's participation in Worlds.

  10. OK, but it's strange bq A.Rod and V.Rod say same words about Aliya "Mustafina have enough starts in this season - FIN" . It will be interesting what will say people when Mustafina will be absent in the request for worlds.( if not mistaken 24 of september by FIG rules) Then you all will understand the meaning of the same words from Rod about Aliya

    1. Yes - but you know it really isn't surprising that Aliya needs to compete in competitions to be eligible for selection - that is the same for all the gymnasts. I doubt that any of the gymnasts really know for sure if they will compete in Glasgow - yet.
      Let's just stop speculating - we will find out soon enough who will be on the team. And it really isn't that vital that Aliya competes this year anyway!

Interview with Artur Dalaloyan

 Artur Dalaloyan on the competition in the national team, performing at the BRICS Games and the desire to rest ❓After performing in the all-around, Nikita Nagorny admitted that he did not devote much time to training before the BRICS Games. Accordingly, his physical fitness left much to be desired. What can you say about yourself in this regard? - I can say with absolute certainty that performing in the all-around requires 100% preparation and, accordingly, a large training volume. I did this volume, so I calmly went out on the platform, realizing that I was capable of completing the all-around. ❓Didn't you lose heart when it became known that the Friendship Games might be postponed until next year? - Of course, we expected that the Friendship Games would take place on time. They, like the BRICS Games, were quite a big additional incentive: after all, they are international competitions. Therefore, I tried to work in such a way as not to lower the level of the all-around. ❓Do you s

‘Biles turned gymnastics upside down’ - interview with Angelina Melnikova

Interview by Norik Serobyan, Sports Correspondent,    Metaratings “Foreign gymnasts write that they miss us and are waiting for us.” Melnikova - about Spartak, Olympic Games 2024 and plans Two years ago, Angelina Melnikova became one of the main stars of the Russian team at the Tokyo Olympics, where Russian gymnasts won gold. Now the leader of the Russian team competes only at domestic competitions. In an interview with Metaratings.ru, the world and Olympic champion told what she does outside of sports. From our conversation you will learn: how high is the level of competition in Russia; what is her motivation to perform without international competitions; when is he planning to retire? what he thinks about participating in the Olympics; why does he support Spartak? “In Russia the level of competition is low, there are two or three athletes who fight for the podium, this is very few” – More than a month has already passed since the Russian Cup. You probably managed to analyze your perf

Fact or fiction? The press, gymnastics and pregnancy doping

It was a Sunday morning.  I was drinking my coffee and contemplating the day ahead - a workout at the gym, shopping for groceries, an evening reading a book, or catching up on last night's episodes of crime thriller The Bridge .  How nice it was not to have to think about work for a day. Then I saw it - a story about the history of doping in The Observer .  Interesting reading. Of course, cheating is as old as the hills.  It is, unfortunately, human nature for some people to try to gain easy advantage in any kind of competition.  That is why we have laws, rules, ethical guidelines.  People who cheat should face justice and shouldn't complain when they are found out. But the story about pregnancy doping bothered me.  Hadn't that been found to be fictional?  The author began with Olga Kovalenko's allegations made in 1994 - but the rumours had started way back in 1991 with the documentary series More Than A Game .  The practice of pregnancy doping was dis
