Russian Gymnastics Appreciation - 2016: The Olympic Year

Since it's 2016, the old thread is over 100 pages long, and with the forum being down, it's the perfect time to start a new thread!


2016 has arrived! The Olympics are right around the corner! The Russians fear the Zika virus (are they pregnant?!)! Nabs for President!

Things that have happened:

-Russia not going to Rio Test Event due to concerns of the Zika virus, and Nabs called bullsh-t on that excuse (it was great)

-Ilyankova, Perebinosova, Saifulina, and Zubova currently at Gymnix (Ilyankova looks good)

-Aliya might compete at the DTB-Pokal Team Challenge in Stuttgart, but that's not for certain

-Aliya undecided about AA or just a few events at Russian Championships

-Shelgunova has been getting big scores lately at competitions in Riga and Minsk
