The national team in training for Worlds, with their coaches
Pleased to see all the usual suspects are registered, plus Daria Mikhailova, Anastasia Grishina, Anastasia Sidorova, Viktoria Kuzmina and Tatiana Nabiyeva.
As we have read before, Aliya Mustafina isn't competing here.
The oldest gymnast competing is Daria Elizarova (1991) and the youngest Daria Skrypnik (2000). There is a field of 34 women.

In MAG we have a total of 55 gymnasts competing. 29 year old Andrei Perevoznikov is the oldest man present, and the youngest is 1997 born Sergei Kryvunets. Rings specialist Alexander Balandin is the main omission from the list of competitors - he is having more shoulder surgery this week, so we wish him all the best of luck in his recovery.
The competition begins on Wednesday with the MAG and WAG team events. We very much hope that as usual the RGF will provide live streaming; I will provide links as they arise (check my Facebook and Twitter feeds which are updated more rapidly than this, the main blog).
Good luck to all the competitors! Do your best!
