Melnikova to miss Russian Cup - update

By

Angelina Melnikova won’t compete at the Russian Cup next week.  Instead, she will travel to Novosibirsk (where the championships will be staged) and will conduct a Master class.

I’m unsure why this is happening.  Earlier in the year, Valentina Rodionenko said gymnasts had to compete at Russia Cup if they wanted to be part of the national team, unless they had a doctor’s signature.


UPDATE - 


Here’s a message from Gelya about her withdrawal from Russian Cup.  It seems her leg injury is still troubling her.  Source: Angelina’s Telegram site via VK.com


Dear fans!


I have to inform you that I have withdrawn from the Russian Cup. I doubted for a long time whether to take part, because my injured leg still makes itself felt. Together with the coaches and medical staff, we came to the decision to abandon the competition in order to focus on treatment. I have three important starts ahead of me - the Legends Challenge Games, the Universiade in July, and the Russian Championship in the fall - I definitely need to be healthy.


The good news is that I will still come to Novosibirsk as a spectator. I will be glad to see you, chat and take photos.


Thank you for your support!

Russian Olympians run masterclass in ‘Donetsk People’s Republic’

By
I’m not happy about this … the RGF has run a masterclass in what they are calling the Donetsk People’s Republic.  Of the Russian Olympic gymnasts I can see Nagorny there, and Urazova, don’t recognise the others apart from Stretovich, whose Instagram this is. It would be nice if this were an olive branch for peace, but I think it’s more of an Empire for President Putin.   Translation : ‘i.stretovich96 A significant event for the Donetsk People's Republic The Russian Gymnastics Federation held a master class in Donetsk For me personally, this is an important and significant moment. Gymnastics in the republic was, is and will be! Thank you for the warm welcome.’
