– “We have already seen videos of the competition area and we built a plataform in Novogorsk, like the one that is going to be in Rio.”

Irina Viner-Usmanova also spoke about Sofiya’s injury.

– “Unfortunatly, Sofiya Skomorokh got injured last month. So we had to find a replacement. The new member of the group is Kseniya Polyakova”

Despite of rumours,there were a few pictures in Instagram where she was clearly seen in Novogorsk.

Ukrainian RG Federation spoke about this situation: “To sum up : Eleonora Romanova was staying with her parents in Krasnodon (region of Lugansk) after New Year and the coaches of the National team have been shocked to find out of her presence in Russia. Currently, neither the gymnast nor her parents have reached out to Ukrainian RG Federation and never informed the Federation of the wish to change citizenship”

Despite of rumours,there were a few pictures in Instagram where she was clearly seen in Novogorsk.

“However, we are aware that she was seen in Moscow. Eleonora Romanova has been financed in full by the government of Ukraine and sponsorship during all the years of her stay in National team. Normally the preparation of an athlete of such a high level costs approximately 2-5 mln. USD.”

As Mikhaela said, for years ago she underwent surgery on her knee and, twenty-five days after, she could train again. Now again her meniscus injured. Maevska will be examined by an orthopaedic surgeon in Germany, who will determine if the surgery (knee arthroscopy) is needed.
