Alright I’m confused. I know everyone on the Russian team at Stuttgart except for one...is it Gorbatova or Kapitonova? Someone tagged a pic as Gorbatova but I totally thought it was Kapitonova...do they look alike? Is it just me?

new V-Rod interview, and she says that she not believe in Komova comeback :D also first time she not mention Mustafina LOL and yeah her new fav is Eremina, bad for Lena :( inc also new Melka and David interview www(.)mk(.)ru/sport/2017/04/26/sbornuyu-rossii-po-sportivnoy-gimnastike-ocenili-po-vysshemu-razryadu(.)html

According to Andrei, Euros is a useful starting point, but the competition at Worlds will be stronger.

Valentina says they could’ve brought other girls on the team, but Seda has a minor injury and there are problems with Daria. Their main bet for Euros was Angelina Melnikova, who should’ve been able to perform high level gymnastics, but they can’t understand what’s going on with her. She didn’t show the performances she was ready for, and they think it might be psychological. When they ask her what went wrong, Angelina says she doesn’t know, so they find this very alarming.

Natalia Kapitonova has a complex personality and is an introvert, so she never says how she feels. They will deal with each gymnast after they get back, and they feel the biggest issue is them not hitting in competition despite being ready.

Elena Eremina is the only gymnast they’re happy with. She can show difficult gymnastics and they haven’t had such an original gymnast in a long time. She has the traits of Soviet gymnastics, which is exactly what they want.

They heard about Viktoria Komova’s return plans, and they’ll gladly accept her, but they don’t think it will work out. They’ve been waiting for her a lot.

Asked what went wrong in the events before floor, Angelina said she feels like she did everyting she could, and, yes, she was asked about it, and said she doesn’t know. It’s uncomfortable for her to talk about what she feels is wrong. If it’s a physical thing, she’ll say it, because it affects her work and can be fixed, but if it’s something else , she thinks no one but herself can figure it out.

Larissa Ushakova said it might be the responsability wearing her down, or it might be overworking.

Dalaloyan and Lankin are debutants and had to prove themselves. Dynamo Moscow President, Andrei Zudin, thinks Artur is a fighter. There have been moments in the past when he was ‘expelled’ and they had to wait for his internal state to change, and that did happen before the Olympics, but there was no time for him to get ready. His coach, Alexander Kalinin is young and tries his best with Artur, they’re growing together.

Lankin has a totally different character. He had little experience going into Euros, and still did well, losing only to Dragulescu. He’s working on AA, and like Nagornyy, has one of the most experienced coaches.

Nagornyy is emotional and impulsive. He left with a medal, but sometimes, his inability to listen to the coaches hinders him. Age might also be a factor, but they believe in him.

Beliavsky won’t give up AA. He talks about the setbacks he had, such as having to deal with kidney stones, and having to rush to the hospital in ambulance because of it, but says they talked to the doctors and everything’s fine now. He went into Euros trying to compete without mistakes and he did not expect gold on pommels. He did not medal on high bar because he is not ready for it yet.
