    Congrats to Komova, spiridonova for the gold medals
    what happened in UB final is a laugh, as the judges can no longer differentiate between the gymnasts' routines in terms of executions and it means that they have reached to unprecedented level of incompetence ... Nellie Kim should go and NOW

    I am happy for both. What a great day for Russia, gold medals on two event finals. However, not to take away from a good day for Russia, but Komova deserved the gold. She should have had the highest E score of the four.

    Please explain how Komova and Kocian had the same E-score?

      Maybe because Kocian had many leg separations and Komova not?LOL
      it's a festival: gold for every one, even who doesn't deserve it ...

      Komova had bent arms on the releases. Bent legs every times she had giants. Half turn before dismount wasn't on handstand. And sadly, she was attempting layout jaeger and failed, judges gave piked jaeger and deduction on E-Score for body position not piked enough.

      @cts sam, about which routine are you talking about? and the judges told you that or it is just your ideas?
      the same cliche I hear talking about her "handstands" which is perfect for me by the way, while they don't comment on the Americans' gymnasts handstands and legs and landings and fluidity which are things they lack very badly.

      Maybe it was her "russian tap" before the pike katchev and before the dismount, that's already 0.6 in deductions, but anyway she delivered the most beautiful and fluid routine.

    As they say: not all gymnast are ballerinas. Even though Kocian cannot keep her legs together and has flexed feet , she deserves huge scores because it is her way to be artístic. LOL

    What is wrong with you people? Why can't you be happy for once? For you watchers in front of computers and televisions it is cheating if Russians doesn't win gold or heavens forbid them sharing glory with anyone else.

    Agree with the other anon: why can't y'all be happy? The gymnasts seemed beyond thrilled for each other and themselves. Also, if you truly think Komova alone should have won then you wouldn't be singling out Kocian. May I remind you there are two other gold medalist? Yet you only care about the American... Good job to all the winners.

    we will be happy for the deserved one, and we are talking about the execution here they got so obviously the other two got lower that Komova and Kocian, amd that is why we singling out Kocain, I thought it is simple and plain like that

    there's a statistic that religious people are happier than atheists. I wonder what the statistic is for russian/usa stans. seems to me one group is positive and the other is always trying to find ways to drown in its own sympathy and misery.

    If the gymnastics that USA represents stands for the positive and happy group, then no thanks I would stick with the Russian misery...

    1 Gold for viktoria, 2 Gold for the other two, and USA may be fourth

    The Maximum score for each apparatus, why is it NOT equal????
    If Zimone near 16 at FX, then the maximum of UB should also near 16, NOT only 15.4, VERY VERY Bias for this era of judge !!!!

    I was curious about that point you just raised there. There is no doubt that Simone is a wonderful technician on floor and deserves her very high marks on floor. Her floor routine in the event final had very little deductions other thsn a couple of hops back after her tumbles. But was this not the case with Viktoria komova's uneven bars set in the event final ? Yet her execution was nowhere near as high as Simone's. Anybody know why ? Do you think it's bias ? Or is this something to do with her comments about the Americans ? It does seem rather unlikely but I did wonder ...

    In fact the Judges had no problem giving Douglas almost 9.0 Execution on Bars (in Team final) but they had a real problem giving it to Komova or Spiridinova ...

Aliya Mustafina - 'each medal is very special'

By
'I'm very happy that everything turned out well today  ... Each medal is very special.  The UK team made mistakes, so there was a wide margin [of victory]... But naturally, [what I did] is not enough for the Olympics.  I prepared well for beam and bars but I am not ready for floor, I stepped up to help the team. ... To be honest, I did not look at the scores [when asked how the team reacted to the 6.5 gap before the final apparatus].  Gelya (Melnikova) is a good girl, she did everything and did not falter ... Seda fell on quite a complex element.  There is more work to do, but everything else went well.' [About a protest taken by the coaches on her beam score]. 'I am used to my protests being rejected, everything is normal!' Via vk.com I n other news , the UEG has confirmed that Spiridonova will replace Melnikova in tomorrow's bars final. No reason is given, but it is generally considered that Dasha has a better chance of gold.  This decision also means tha...

WAG Senior start lists are out - Afan does one, Mustafina three

By
Start lists are now available for tomorrow's senior team and event quals.  At present, the Russian roster  looks like this - Beam - Melnikova, Tutkhalyan, Mustafina Floor - Melnikova, Tutkhalyan, Mustafina  Vault - Melnikova, Tutkhalyan, Afanasyeva  Bars - Melnikova, Spiridonova, Mustafina  Things can still change, dear reader, but this is the most reliable official news we have.    It will be good to see all five members of the team compete - I am relieved that Mustafina isn't doing all four but worried for her legs on floor; delighted to see Melnikova and Tutkhalyan making such a strong contribution; and pleased that Afanasyeva is having a chance to try out her training, despite what might be a small injury.  Spiridonova is also looking good for bars, in fact to me she is underused here.   Good luck!  Udachi!  To all the team.  We are very excited to see you compete and do well! The start lists can be found here - http:/...

So this is where things stand … Russian gymnasts in Europe

By
  Croatia has denied visas to nine members of the Russian national gymnastics delegation. Croatia says the applications were refused because insufficient information was provided about the purpose of travel for those nine individuals. Russia disputes this explanation, arguing that more than 60 other gymnasts, coaches and officials received visas after submitting applications containing the same information. Significantly, three of the gymnasts denied visas — Angelina Melnikova, Anna Kalmykova and Viktoria Listunova — could reasonably have been expected to contend for medals in Zagreb. This has inevitably led to allegations that the visa refusals were intended to weaken Russia’s team. At full strength, Russia’s women’s team would have been among the strongest — and quite possibly the strongest — competing at these European Championships. However, there is currently no evidence establishing that the refusals were deliberately designed to influence the sporting outcome. The impor...
