BBC broadcast schedule today - Olympic gymnastics - times and channels for all three subs

By

I have been trying to track down a definitive online guide to the BBC gymnastics coverage but so far haven't succeeded.  This is probably my fault - I cannot imagine that the BBC could possibly be so completely dunderheaded as not to publish one.  I am going out later to do some errands and will try to buy a copy of the Radio Times.  If I can find out any broadcast details there, I will share them with you, assuming that my typewriter works and there are enough pigeons available to deliver paper copies to you all.

In the meantime, the great news is that our generally wonderful BBC will be giving us complete, advertisement-free coverage of the competition, with great commentary from the inimitable pair, Craig Heap and Christine Still.  Beth Tweddle will also be guesting.  We'll miss Mitch Fenner an awful lot, but still we are in good hand - and I'll be hearing his voice all the time anyway, in my self-commentary.  The first coverage of the first subdivision (Japan, Brazil, Korea, Netherlands) will be - I think - exclusively online.  I found it by trawling the BBC sport app on my iPad.  It begins at 14.20 BST.  

Subdivision 2 (GB, France, USA, Germany) will be on BBC Red Button 1 at 18.25
Subdivision 3 (UKR, SUI, RUS, China) will be on BBC Red Button 2 at 22.30

At least, that is what I have been able to find out, please check your local broadcast schedules.

You can find a competition schedule for today, links to start lists (in the comments) etc at http://rewritingrussiangymnastics.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/mag-quals-schedule-starting-order-links.html?m=1

    According to my copy of the Radio Times, today's first subdivision is also on BBC4 - this may be mixed in with coverage of other sports, not sure.

    I have been looking specifically for gymnastic coverage and can't find any specific broadcasting details. Found out today I have already missed the mens and I am not happy. Is it so hard for the BBC to publish when it will be screened on tv!? It would seem so.

Watanabe campaigns for IOC President role in Russia

By
Sport is the low hanging fruit of world politics. The IOC ban on Russian athletes has kept Russian soft influence to a minimum over past years. I understand the emotion.    For example, how could Nagorny (a Russian World and Olympic champion) compete alongside Ukrainian rivals when he has openly endorsed the war, and even encouraged his Russian team mates to join up and take part in the military action? In this video  FIG President Watanabe is welcomed to Round Lake, Russia’s national training centre for gymnastics, by Russian head coach Andrei Rodionenko and the aforementioned Nikita Nagorny.    Rodionenko is a long-serving member of the international gymnastics community.    He has been head coach of Soviet, Australian, Canadian and, now, the Russian teams. Watanabe is campaigning for votes in his quest to be voted IOC President.    That’s like the Prime Minister of the UK putting himself forward as Head of NATO - it’s a big step.  ...

I see family gymnastic albums, remember her youth, and gradually ask a few questions. - What a voluminous file of documents!  It shows how much time and effort had to be expended to get to court. Correspondence, lawyer requests, decisions, resolutions, agenda ... - Actually, this story began a long time ago.  Once, German broadcaster RTL screened an interview ... with my double!   A certain woman who said that she was Olympic champion in gymnastics, Olga Kovalenk...

Tatyana Nabiyeva on work and love in China

By
Some highlights from a long interview with 2010 World champion Tatyana Nabiyeva.  Source: Russian team page on VK.com.  Translation - Google translate A big interview with Tatyana Nabieva about the peculiarities of work and life in China, the bright years of her sports career, a little about modern gymnastics and about love. On the Nabiyeva flight — At the same championship, you presented a new element on the bars, which was later added to the rules with your last name (flying over the top bar with a straight body, difficulty group F. — Sport24). How did you come up with the idea to try something new? — Actually, it happened spontaneously, I think. We worked with Vera Iosifovna [Kiryashova] on the purity of the elements on the bars, sometimes I didn’t fly all the way to the Shaposhnikova element. Once I didn’t fly all the way to the bars either and stood on my feet between the bars, bending my legs in flight for safety. Then Vera Iosifovna said that this was a different eleme...
