Not sure what to think about this. Is China wanting to teach their gymnast bad form?

Or maybe they realised the can’t keep putting up yurchenko fulls in team finals

Literally thought this was an April Fools

They’ll be doing consultancy/work shop stuff. Russian coaches have done similar with Japan previously

A friend described it as a headline they’d expect to see in the Onion.

I thought it was a joke too. I mean, I still think it’s a joke, but in the other sense of the word.

 

[Denn]

This must be a joke.

I mean, China and Russia must be taking this “best buds” thing pretty seriously !
