The Russians trained in the late afternoon. Anna Dementyeva, Anastasia Grishina and new senior Evgenia Shelgunovaturned up in Germany. Russian veteran Kristina Goryunovawas a no-show, however. One of the folk at Gymfever mentioned she was last seen photographed in a leg brace, so perhaps she is harbouring an injury, which would explain her absence.
Evgenia Shelgunova worked bars and vault principally today, the two events she is down to perform. She did also attempt to do a dance through on floor, but there were music issues, and they quickly gave up. On vault she stuck to doing timers for her second vault. On bars she did a did a toe-on to full pirouette on the low bar, chased by a Maloney, a piked Tkatchev to a (still) terrifying Pak salto and a straddled Jaeger. Her dismount, which I could barely discern, was incredibly messy.
Dementyeva and Grishina both worked hard on beam and both looked quite good. Dementyeva looks like a (highly elegant) machine on beam, nailing most of her skills. There was one rather spectacular spill, starting in a switch ring, becoming a- how should I put it- a straight jump to backside, connected beautifully to a pullover. Other than that crash, things looked good for Dementyeva. She was working a side aerial into her jump series, and cleanly connected an Onodi to front aerial to sheep jump at one point. She did not do much tumbling today, but did a dance through. She is still working that jazz routine that I don’t like as much as her old routine. But as we all know, Dementyeva could dance inside a paper bag and give it style and pizzaz Her Memmel turn was a stunner today, too.
Grishina was equally lovely to watch on beam- although not as steady today as Dementyeva. She repeatedly nailed her layout to two feet, and produced a wobbly Onodi to illusion turn, chased by a near-perfect connection. Her front aerial to split jump to sissone was very pretty. Her oversplit is just gorgeous.
