Russian Youth Championships

After two already, you probably thought Russian nationals were over, right?

As it turns out, this year’s Russian nationals were split into three competitions – the first for seniors in the Master of Sport and Candidate for Master of Sport divisions, a second for juniors in the same divisions, and a third, which happened 25-30 May, for the even younger crowd.

In Russia these are called Levels 1 and 2, for girls born 2003-2004 (Level 1) and those born 2005-2006 (Level 2).

Gymnasts in these divisions compete both compulsory routines and optional ones, with the all-around determined by the total; the event finals operate under new life rules. …
