Russian Teams to Worlds

September 23rd, 2011 | Gymnastics, Olympics

UPDATE: This seems not yet to be the “official” announcement.

Andrei Rodionenko (via RIA Novosti) via Rewriting Russian Gymnastics:

Men: Garibov, Khorokhodin, Ignatyev, Belyavski, Ablyazin, Cherkasov, Golutsotskov, Pluzhnikov

Women: Afanasyeva, Komova, Dementieva, Belokobylskaya, Nabieva, Polyan, Paseka

… Rodionenko is apparently worried about the conditions out in Tokyo in the wake of Typhoon Roke which killed 12 people and is causing landslides. There is some discussion of the consequences of cancelling this event. …

I just arrived Tokyo. Sunny skies. No sign of typhoon. It’s already passed, I assume.

The Show must go on unless huge storm attacks then we send gymnasts out to save the world(s).

BG teams anounced now, no surprises really, but interesting to note there are 3 2008 olympians on the WA team, plus Imogen Cairns who is 22. http://www.british-gymnastics.org/site/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2213%3A2011-artistic-gymnastics-world-championships-team-selection&catid=1%3Anews&Itemid=97
