Valentina Rodionenko said, 'she needs to rest properly after numerous performances in the past years'.
'We have decided to release Aliya from participation in the Russia Cup - she needs a proper break after numerous appearances in recent years. Moreover, her back hurts. We want to save her for the next Olympic season. Aliya therefore doesn't have to participate in selection for Worlds. If she is all right, then she will certainly go there.'
