The mentor of the Russian team in sports gymnastics Valery Alfosov - about the champions of the OI and those who can compete with them "the results will be, then we will talk." The results of the Russian sports gymnastics championship on April 18, Moscow time to share comments by the senior coach of the male team is pleased with the Olympic champions. But he did not give young advances, they still need to work.

The senior coach of the national team Valery Alfosov spoke about the level of organization of the competition, the performance of Olympians and young athletes, as well as about the attitude to gymnastics in Russia. In Kazan, you can easily hold international competitions. My colleagues, athletes, coaches are very pleased with the conduct and organization of the competition.

What other cities will be able to compete with Kazan in terms of the level of competition? In gymnastics, each region that takes on the holding of Russian or the Russian Cup is very trying, and we increase this level from year to year. I hope we bring to the highest level and international class. Daniel Marinov is “pleased with young athletes” - how do you evaluate the performance of the Olympians?

Someone trained for two weeks, someone fell ill ...-Olympic champions confirmed their class, their level. Young gymnasts who are replacing them also showed interesting things, and many gymnasts even took prizes. This is very pleasing to us. Summing up small results, I am very pleased with the Nagorny, and Dalalaian, and Belyavsky, and at the same time I am pleased with the young athletes.

Everyone in these competitions fulfilled his task. All gymnasts, especially titled, approached these competitions differently. But the fact that they fought and tried to show lovers of gymnastics good gymnastics - this cannot be taken away from them. Materials on the topic Russian gymnasts won the Olympics! This was not a quarter of a century! But I would not want to give an advance to young gymnasts now.

I respect and appreciate all the gymnasts of our team, because we have a very hard work. But I will say that Kalyuzhin showed enormous hard work. He trained a lot and prepared for these competitions. However, I would not want to distinguish someone, I am still a senior coach, and when there will be results, then we will say. Now we are only going to these results. They are all in the same team now, they all train, fight.

And which of them will go a little faster - it already depends on their inner desire to be a big athlete. It was also a huge success. And after Rio de Janeiro, the entire Olympic cycle to Tokyo we increased everything that could only win. And the success was huge, and the audience interest increased and increased all the time. In Tokyo, he went to the peak. I know that a huge number of people fell in love with gymnastics and is rooting for us.

This is interesting and exciting, especially when there is a cruel struggle, the struggle of nerves, the struggle of programs, capabilities and other things. Now this work is being carried out. Our federation and the Ministry of Sports - we all work on this, we want to do everything and do it at the highest level. Now it’s difficult to say one hundred percent.
