Jade Carey interview

Inside Gymnastics:

Jade: I chose to pursue an individual route because I felt it was my best way to achieve my goal of going to the Olympics. I wanted to leave every avenue open to reach my goal.

Jade: Some reasons I chose Oregon State are the coaches and the beautiful campus. The coaches are amazing and so helpful, and I can’t wait to have them help me grow in college.

Jade: The plan is to start in the fall of 2020.

Inside: What is it like to compete alongside Russian Olympian Maria Paseka in vault finals?

Jade: It’s definitely challenging and competitive. She’s a really good vaulter, so it definitely adds the pressure, but I just focus on what I need to do to [perform] my best vaults.

RUS Men’s National Coach Valeri Alfosov

After the very successful European Championships, TASS asks Alfosov about European Games (David Belyavskiy, Dmitri Lankin), Worlds 2019, Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024.

He’s very happy with progress of the Senior teams but worries that Russia doesn’t have enough gyms and gymnasts to produce world class teams in future.

Alfosov confirmed that Kuksenkov is still training and said Balyevskiy and Lankin are the most likely candidates for European Games https://t.co/vhxG27gN8b
