UPDATE

Balandin 1 is hang vertical pull up with straight arms to swallow (Maltese) 2sec

Balandin 2 is hang vertical pull up with straight arms to inverted cross 2sec

Both are E-parts. Both are awesome.

Is this Balandin 3?

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Let’s see what Aleksandr Balandin competed last week at Russian Championships.

Click PLAY or watch that set on YouTube.

Balandin 2

Oops. My mistake. That was from a competition in the LAST code.

Click PLAY or watch his most recent routine on YouTube.

He used what I assume will be called the Balandin 3.

He ended up finishing only 5th on Rings. Due to the fall on dismount.

That first routine was posted on a site new to me — Videos of Russian Gymnasts – Aleksandr Balandin page.

Ws van Wijk caught my error. And linked to the correct routine from Russian Championships. THANKS.

Congratulations!

Beth Tweddle said she was “speechless” to be crowned Dancing on Ice champion. The gymnast added: “All credit goes to Matt, he’s done an amazing skate tonight.

Great competition. You’ll be seeing many of these names in the mix for Olympics 2016.

… up-and-coming Russian stars Anastasia Dmitrieva and Maria Bondareva tied for the junior title Saturday. …

Russia won the junior women’s competition, easily defeating Canada, Japan and France with strong performances on bars, beam and floor. Canada was the top team on vault and floor, though only sixth out of seven teams on bars. Romania, as expected, had the highest team score on beam.

… Japan’s Yuki Uchiyama finished third and had the top score of the evening on bars (13.633), ahead of Romania’s Andreea Munteanu (highest beam score with 14.033) and Louise Vanhille of France.

Canada’s Heaven Latimer, sixth, was the highest home-country finisher in the junior division, but she had the top score on floor with 14.0. …

The competition concludes Sunday evening with the senior session and junior event finals.
