| Nikolai Kuksenkov, in training this week for Worlds at Lake Krugloye, has his painful hand treated. RGF |
Nikolai Kuksenkov, the winner at the Universiade, has a finger injury [dislocated finger]; he might not compete on all events.
'When will the decision be taken?', asked Sovietski Sport
'In Antwerp, in the final training sessions', replied Alfosov.
Kuksenkov thinks that this was a silly injury. He was training bars, and thinks it will be fine by the time that the World championships start. 'We are doing everything' he says.
'Have you seen the new 19 year old gymnast from Japan?'
Alfosov replied, 'Kenzo Shirai? I saw his floor clip on the internet. He performs incredible elements in his routine: no double backs, only twists: four twists at the end, triple twisting front.'
David Belyavski has an ankle injury but will try to compete in Antwerp.
Denis Ablyazin is practising a floor routine with a 7.3 D value.
Once again, good luck to these brave men ... davai!!!
