This interview with leading gymnastics journalist Natalia Kalugina took place a few days after the Olympics. Even then, it was clear that Alexandrov's continuing position as head coach of the Russian team was in doubt. Thanks to Zarariel Kyora on Youtube for the video, and the captioned translations. Please note : Lupita writes : There is a mistake in the captions. When asked about training Mustafina in the future, Aleksandrov answers: “It will depend on her”.
