Russian individual gymnasts Yana Kudryavtseva, Margarita Mamun and Aleksandra Soldatova headline an impressive field at the 34th World Championships. This is not the first time that Yana Kudryavtseva visited the country. She was in Munich a few weeks ago, where the orthopaedics doctor, recommended Yana to stop doing sport for a period of six weeks due to her leg injury.
Since Yana is injured, we are focusing on team competition, said Yana’s coach
Meanwhile, Alexandra Soldatova performed in podium trainings her ribbon, hoop and clubs routine (she was suposed to compete with two of them). Margarita Mamun was regular throughout the day.
It was not a good day for team Ukraine (senior individual) Anna Rizatdinova, Viktoriya Mazur and Eleonora Romanova. Anna Rizatdinova made several mistakes (she even cried). She is the head gymnast of the team.
Bulgarian team (Mateva, Vladinova, Stoykova) showed off their original routines. Vladinova made no obvious mistakes.
Team Spain (Carolina Rodríguez, Polina Berezina, Sara Llana and Natalia García). Carolina is back to her good shape while Natalia García made a few mistakes.

These World Championships are extremely important as it is the first qualifying stage for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Individuals who ranked 1st to 15th earn the right for their Federation to send a gymnast to Olympic Games. There is a maximum of 2 places per country. Gymnasts placing 16th through to 38th are invited to compete at the test event (PreOlympic) in Rio in April 2016 where the top 6 will qualify for the Olympics. Up to three additional gymnasts could go to Rio if they hail from continents who have not already qualified a gymnast to the Olympic Games. Groups ranking 1st to 10th in the all-around will advance automatically to Rio. Places 11 to 16 will have to compete in the test event where the top three groups will also get a ticket to the Games.
Additionally, these Worlds also are a qualifier to the 2017 World Games in Wroclaw, Poland.

Interview to Margarita Mamun before Europen Games
Russian European and World Champion, Margarita Mamun, talks about her sports career.
– Margarita, how is your preparation to European Games going?
– I’ve just come back from Berlin Grand Prix and I am really happy since I got 4 first positions. My ribbon routine was the only which I didn’t get a medal. Right now, we have a really short break and then we work out for the European Games.
– Your teammate Yana Kudryatseva couldn’t attend to Berlin Grand Prix due to exams. What about you?
– Yana is passing exams to attend to University next year. I did these exams two years ago, that’s why I could compete at Universiade in Kazan. I am sure Yana will get good scores so that she could join National University.
– Do you talk to other gymnasts during competitions
– I try to be in touch with other gymnasts who speak Russian Language via social networks. I have to say that I speak a lot with Neta Rivkin from Israel.
– How is your daily routine?
– I wake up and then I got ready while I listen to music. If we are in a competition, we go for a walk after it if we can.
– How is the audience from Azerbaijan?
– They are always very nice with us, as I can remember from European Championships in Baku in 2014. I hope it is the same for European Games.
– Yana Kudryatseva is a very good friend of you. How is your relationship during competitions?
– We are fighting for our country: Russia. But I have to say that I remember when Yana’s ribbon music suddenly stop playing at World Championships in Kiev, I started to cry.
– Will your routines have changes this year?
– Irina Zenovka, our choreographer chose a music of Scorpions for my new routine, that will be seen in World Championships in September. I will also have a new leotard.
