I love Piliarova medaling in second place on bars soooo much. Just the best thing - can’t wait to see her at Euros next summer.

Is U’raine an anti FSB-snooping tactic?

I love Piliarova qualifying third on bars.

I’m not convinced this is directly related to these accusations coming out after worlds. There were solid rumors in Romania before worlds that huge change was coming and some national coaches might lose their jobs. I think this was in the works despite Denisas complaints. But I guess it could...

Insights from the Dutch coaches in Gymcastic:

And here it should absolutely be pointed out that "the former Soviet Union countries" should not be grouped together as if they are all the same. Moldova for example is nothing like Belarus is nothing like Estonia, is nothing like Kazakhstan. That said, yes, Melnikova is a very likeable...

There is a connection though, because Rodionenko was coaching / working in Canada and Fetisov convinced him to return to Russia to revitalise Russian gymnastics to try to bring back the glory days of the Soviet Union. It's not like he was just always there. Fetisov essentially brought him back...

This next quad is going to see this a lot - and with a punch front on the end. A+A+E+A - 0,4 in CV, no?
