strong again

On the basis of qualifications a major disappointment for Russian fans was the performance of the Russians in the floor exercise – neither Russian gymnasts in the finals was not hit. But do not forget that a great loss in this form became a silver medalist in the World Championship – 2015 European champion and last year Afanasyeva, due to an ankle injury is not declared on the floor exercise. However, on the eve of the second team final result of the Russians and the microscopic gap in the score of 0.102 British women are encouraging.

“In the team championship is not a difference is still to come, – said the agency” F-Sport “two-time Olympic champion Lidia Ivanova -. The most important thing that solved the problem out in the team championship finals I want to believe that they win. our team all for it. quite a pleasant combination of experience and youth, it is sufficient to call Mustafina and Afanasyev, and next (Angelina) Melnikova, Spiridonov and (Seda) Toutkhalian. of course, the composition of the strong, which is able to solve the problem. It is the scale of Europe, should be remember that the Olympics have on the nose, and there will be those competitors! “

The Russian national team as listened to the words of the honored coach of the USSR and in the final sound crazy attitude and excellent workmanship. The only mistake was falling Toutkhalian on a log, but that did not stop the team to take the gold with a margin of nearly 5 points.

“I would like to thank all the coaches, specialists, therapists, doctors, who have helped us in this matter, – told reporters the senior women’s team coach of Russia Yevgeny Grebenkine. – All congratulations on the victory! Melnikova first entered the adult start Toutkhalian already was, but faltered. Well, nothing! On the first day probed, reached the final. And everything is decided by the finals. The leaders support young people by their example they set up that helps to show the best results “.

played replacement

Tragically before the finals in individual events-round is the lack of the list of candidates for the medals on uneven bars current world and European champion Spiridonova, but just before the start of the coaching staff decided to carry out the replacement and release it instead of young Melnikova. “Angelina torn callus on his hand yesterday, we invited her and the coach discussed the situation and decided to hold a joint replacement in the final.” – Said the agency “F-Sport” Senior coach of Russia Valentin Rodionenko.

And Spiridonov did not disappoint, winning silver and behind only Briton Rebecca Downie. Many felt that the assessment of the gold medalist was overpriced, but, as the saying goes, “Winners are not judged.” “Evaluation on the bars (in Spiridonova) decent, but an English base in 0.2 above, and won by a small margin from Darya, so everything is fine” -. Said Grebenkine

It is necessary to be happy and Afanasyev, which even with the injury was able to win bronze in the vault, showing a real leadership qualities. But to sing the praises of the Russian woman does not become, admitting that in this tournament feels uncomfortable. “As for the team championship, to be honest, I am a little uncomfortable or even ashamed that I am in the team only one projectile go because of an injury and can not help the main shell today is better, because the medal took, and a little ashamed.” – Afanasyev admitted.

The triumph on the log

The present ornament of Sunday was the performance on the balance beam Mustafina. Hardly performing dismount from the projectile, Olympic champion smiled, making it clear: the gold she does not take away anybody. And so it happened, she scored 15.100 points became the highest mark in the form of Europe-2016 championship.

“The estimate was high, estimates such on the balance beam did not, so the hope is already immediately after my speech was rather big, I would stay first. Yes, of course, the start turned out good. I’m glad that’s how it all happened. What was not gross errors, did not fall, I was able to get together and remember how to act further -. to work! ” – Mustafina said the agency “F-Sport”

It is worth noting that on the uneven bars and the leader of the Russian team was not left without a medal, taking bronze
