When Viktoria Komova made errors in the Team competition, I immediately pictured her as Olympic Champion.
She’s trained lousy, in the recent Russian tradition, yet looked excellent in preliminary competition. That’s frustrating for coaches.
Click PLAY or watch her mistakes on Beam & Floor on YouTube.
I’m hoping these errors motivate her to prepare more methodically for London. She needs decide to win — then avoid injury. Vika’s likely still growing, too, so time is needed to adjust to longer body proportions.
Her principal competitors in London, I think, will be American (Wieber, etc.) and from her own team, hopefully Moustafina. She’s one of 4-5 favourites to win it all.
