Following the conclusion of the meet, Valentina Rodionenko again spoke with the press, naming a provisional Rio-bound team: Aliya Mustafina, Angelina Melnikova, Seda Tutkhalyan, Maria Paseka, and Daria Spiridonova.

The winner’s cup for the senior competition, presented by the Duke of Westminster, is one of the oldest trophies in British sports. The competition has increased in prestige in the past several years with the addition of international guests. …

Two-time Olympic pommel horse medalist Smith missed his routine (14.450), while Tulloch logged with 15.800 on still rings and 14.900 on parallel bars. Thomas also made his case with 15.300 on floor exercise, 15.400 on vault and 15.100 on high bar. …
