Head coach Andrei Rodionenko today confirmed that, by hook or by crook, Denis Ablyazin will travel to Nanning and participate in World Championships. Ablyazin missed key finals in last week's Russia Cup, and has been suffering severe knee pain. He is undergoing investigations in Munich at present. An announcement about the nature of his injury is expected in the next few days.
Rodionenko said he would be ready to take Ablyazin for his rings exercise only, where the Olympian has a realistic medal chance. He also suggested that vault might be a possibility - 'even on one leg'.
In a report in Pravda, Rodionenko is also reported as saying that the knee injury was 'nothing serious'.
