In an earlier interview she has said she and Sergei Starkin, who also coaches world gold medallist Denis Ablyazin, are working on upgrades to her bars and floor exercises. She and Ablyazin train at separate times, in separate gyms; it is important to have the one to one attention of a coach, Aliya says.
Valeri Starkin, Sergei's father and recently appointed to the national coaching staff, commented on the good atmosphere and competition, here in his home gym. The Volga Federal District team (Pavlov, Kazachkov, Stepanov, Polyashov, Ablyazin, Belyavski) won the team event in today's competition. Siberia came second.
