  1. Oh no ... Spiridonova on FX = throw in the garbage team gold. Maybe they pick Seda for FX and Paseka stay home, cuz Aliya can bring pretty good DTY, instead of Paseca awful Cheng/amanar from this season

  5. Why not? They got a great Team Manager/Head Coach/Media Specialist that has been hands on lately and calling some shots! Maybe They managed to get Spiridonova to upgrade her difficulty on FX. Why not :)

  7. Oh god. Why is Daria on Floor? Also, I'm not liking that they are using Afanseyva for 3 events. They are going to burn her out! I want Afanseyva to go to Rio so bad!

    I think instead of Daria, they should have put Seda. Seda could have done Beam instead of Afanseyva thus reseting Afanseyva and giving them a much higher beam total AND she can also preform a better floor than Daria. Daria is EASILY replaceable on bars. Yes, she is world champion and well no one can presently score as high, no matter what line up they come up with, Russia will have a strong bars rotation. Paseka can score High 14's easily on bars which is good enough.

    I really feel like they just won't give Seda another chance. I mean she failed so miserably at worlds that I understand but even then, Russia is going to be loosing out especially seeing how consistent she has been in the last competitions

    1. Hold on ... I am hearing that Paseka is in hospital with a back injury. If she is out, that may favour Seda, who can do bars and vault reasonably well ... so maybe we'll have a team with Daria AND Seda. Here's hoping that Maria recovers well, that Seda gets her chance, and that the coaches see fit to let her compete on all four pieces - where I believe she can make a contribution,

    2. I really think Seda is fighting for one of Paseka or Afanasyeva's Rio "spots". I guess she'd replace Melnikova if needed as well. But she doesn't have the bars to replace Mustafina or Komova on that event (I am going off V-Rod's current idea of the Rio team), so if one of those two can't go Russia will first look to take a bars girl, of which Daria is the best and most consistent. They want a medal on that event and even if Fan Yilin of China is now likely the favorite to win thanks to her hugely difficult routine, bars is still Russia's best chance for a gold on the women's side. So Seda and Daria are fighting for different spots. Maybe things will change in June, but at least for right now I believe that's the case.

      That being said, I would like for both Seda and Daria to go to Euros. It's a shame if Maria Paseka is injured and I hope she recovers, but I'd prefer Seda to go over her anyway, especially if they were only going to have her vault. And although I know it would only hurt Russia right now, I wish Euros were 5-4-3 in qualifications instead of 5-3-3.

    3. No this is horrendous news! I wanted Daria to be replaced not Paseka and especially not out with an injury.

      Hope she is well and can continue to train for the olympics because they are a couple of months away and if its serious, then a comeback is not happening this late in the olympic cycle

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
