“The Russian national team is experiencing a generational change in gymnastics, but Dalaloyan and Melnikova should not be dismissed” – Zamolodchikova

Double Olympic champion Elena Zamolodchikova appreciated the performance of Russians during the artistic gymnastics competitions within the framework of the BRICS Games, which are taking place in Kazan.

Previously, the 19-year-old won the all-around at the BRICS Games. Daniel Marinov and Leila Vasilyeva, 16 years old.

— Of course, a generational change is taking place in gymnastics, but neither Arthur Dalaloyan nor Angelina Melnikova should be left aside. Anything can happen in sport. Angelina made a mistake during a floor exercise, which cost her a medal. Luckily for the little girls, this gave them a fighting chance. Additionally, they themselves have improved a lot, especially on vault, which I was really looking forward to. In addition, the increasing complexity of the program propelled them towards the medals. Therefore, I would not call these results sensational. Angelina is already our star, who has a lot of extra social workload. She cannot fully devote herself to sports, and in elite sports one hundred percent dedication is required.

Among men, the victory of Daniel Marinov was already more expected, because he is more versatile and younger, and Arthur is already an experienced athlete, but I really supported him and I am happy with his silver medal. . Nikita Nagorny is a maximalist. For him, it’s all or nothing. He was upset that things were happening this way. Clearly, he was only aiming for a gold medal and wouldn’t accept anything less. I think his statements about his retirement are premature. Time will pass, it will calm down a little and prepare for the Friendship Games in a different, more focused format, Metaratings.ru quotes Zamolodchikova.

The BRICS Games in the capital of Tatarstan will end on June 23.
