Penza Pravda has reported Aliya's superb showing at Russia Cup, and includes a few words from the Champion.
'Everything turned out, as I had conceived it!'
While other star performers on the team - eg Ablyazin and Komova - could only manage partial appearances thanks to injury, 'only Aliya Mustafina appeared before the spectators in all her glory' ... The audience gave Aliya a standing ovation - this was a performance to match her work at the Olympic Games - it was evident that she is a 'gymnast in a great mood'.
'I was practicing new connections for the World Championships. We also needed to make the girls feel like a team. It wasn't my intention to win medals here.'
She won four gold, and a silver. The 'Prima of the Russian team confirmed her star status'.
