vandisheva beam warmup

two 53+ AA scores, dare i be hopeful for the future?

i didn't keep up with russian juniors for a few years and they marinated some serious quality in aleksandra andrianova omg that floor routine was so lovely and complete!! she's apparently the granddaughter of lyubov burda and nikolai andrianov!

and polina dmitrieva opens with such an open full-in 😍

Shang + pak and also an Ezhova

The double layout dismount is still there of course :)

Croatia denies visas to leaders of the Russian women's national team for the European ChampionshipsThe Croatian Embassy in Moscow has officially notified the Russian artistic gymnastics delegation of visa denials for 9 of its 65 members. Among those denied are leaders of the women's national team—Angelina Melnikova, Viktoria Listunova, and Anna Kalmykova—as well as athletes and staff from the men's team.The reason cited for the refusal was: "Failure to provide justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay." Notably, visa applications for the entire Russian delegation were submitted simultaneously, accompanied by identical sets of supporting documents. The remaining 56 members of the delegation were granted visas.

rejecting just the main gymnasts and not the 56 other members of the delegation with an excuse like this is a load of bullshit lmao reject all of them if you don't want russians entering the country?? this is just a cowardly pathetic move 🤡💩

like this euros barely sold tickets seeing from how eager they were with 50% discounts and the people i'm planning on seeing there were all going to see gelya and listy

So she should be getting good scores on floor. And she will get a good floor score at Worlds too. It's just going to be much lower than at US Nationals.
