gymnast Angelina Melnikova on the first day of the finals of individual events of the Russian Artistic Gymnastics Cup, held in Kaluga, she won gold on vault and silver on uneven bars, and Angelina was even happier with this silver than gold. Why the bars were so important to the athlete, she told after the competition.
– I finished a combination on bars cleanly, it’s one of my best combinations in general, probably in my entire career. So yes, I was happy.
– Can this score, 15.033, be considered the maximum for this exercise?
– No, there is room to add in terms of cleanliness, there have been many stains that can be corrected. I think due to the complexity base, there is nothing to add. In principle, the maximum score for this exercise is 15,100 to 15,200.
– Cleanliness is not enough, because there were only three weeks of training?
– The work on cleanliness is very laborious, but I have everything it takes and sometimes there is just not enough time to work on cleanliness, because I need to develop both l stamina and combinations.
– Have you ever thought of leaving the general competition for a narrow specialization?
– Not. Such thoughts have never visited, I am versatile, as I have been since childhood, so I will stick with her.
