Rhythmic gymnastics is a lot safer than artistic.

Not exactly. Ana Luiza Filiorianu is a prime example of how dangerous rhythmic gymnastics can be, and it looks like Dina Averina has been suffering with injuries that Russia is desperately trying to hide. It might not be as risky as artistic gymnastics, but it's not "a lot" safer in any way.

Over what? Did the FIG tell them they had a spot?

A few months back the NOC head claimed we got a spot from reallocation.

 

Of course I am aware she wasn't, and the athlete herself did not react to the news (her coach also said that she is waiting for further confirmations). But the whole media already hyped it and even the national news agency published the news.

 

Our NOC head might be looking for something to save face :noshake:

Claiming she's injured and declined it.:dWe have some similar situation. We have 3 quotas in men's sprint kayaking but claiming we can attend all events, including K4. It confused fans but media just happily announced that we can attend all sprint canoeing events. I am looking forward to seeing how it ends.

I wasn't aware of this injury, and after watching the video I wish I hadn't known :yikes:

Absolutely heartbroken for Alistratava and Likhovitsky. Two great gymnasts with a very good chance of reaching at least one of the event finals.

Anyway, :BLR at least will get to keep their women's spot, and :CZE can now finally confirm their men's spot.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
