Russian training squads for 2012 Olympics named:
Ksenia Afanasyeva, Viktoria Komova, Aliya Mustafina, Anastasia Grishina, Tatyana Nabieva, Maria Paseka, Anastasia Sidorova, Julia Inshina.
Sadly, Dementieva not named. Nor fan favourite 24yr-old Anna Pavlova even though she won Vault.
Commentary by Brigid McCarthy.
Brigid shared a link to a tumblr blog called mustafina2012. It has distant videos of routines from Finals. No embed code. Aliya’s back doing her Bar dismount. Vika falls on her new double twisting double tuck in Finals.

In 2010 Aliya was perfect. The best routines in the world were easy. … Not so now. I admire her even more now.

No Dementieva? Wow I didn’t just have her down for making the squad, I had her locked in to make the team!
I was thinking Dementieva was a major long-shot for making the team, but now that she’s definitely out, I’m very sad. I really like her and kept a bit of hope. But alas. I hope she sticks around, though; I’d really love to see more of her.
The Russians should have just let her on the training squad even if she wasn’t going to make the team. I guess she wasn’t worth it enough for them. Dementyeva has helped Russia A LOT this quad, she deserves better. I wish her all the best.
