Aliya Garayeva (AZE): course Bronze |
Now it´s official: Russia is the old and new world champion!
Since 1995 the Russian gymnasts didn´t miss a gold medal at a team event at world championships, scoring this year at the 31st World Championships in Montpellier 290.275 points ahead of Belarus (272.500) and the Ukraine (269.675).
The team from Azerbaijan placed on the unlucky fourth rank, with 5 points less in the overall score clearly behind the Ukraine, while Bulgaria came on fifth place. They are followed by Uzbekistan, Italy and Korea...
In the evening the apparatus finals with clubs and ribbon will take place in the Park&Suites Arena in Montpellier – another two chances for Evgenia Kanaeva to win gold and complete the hattrick winning six gold medals.

Evgenia Kanaeva: with a TV kiss on the hand, but for whom ...? |
Kanaeva performed nearly faultless, except one little mistake at a boomerang catch where she catched the ribbon together with the stick.
** fig-video--:
In the individual all-around on Friday the decision about the bronze medal will be very close between the Azeri and the Ukrainian gymnast, while the two Russian gymnastic´s stars surely decide between themselves who is going to be the next world champion - if nothing unforeseen happens.
Ranking on third place behind the two Russian favorites, the Azerbaijanian star Aliya Garayeva has big chances for bronze:

____________________________________________
This Thursday, Evgenia Kanaeva, Daria Kondakova and Alexandra Merkulova, 16 year old newcomer in the Russian squad and 2010 Junior Olympic champion in Singapur – instead of Daria Dmitrieva – showed again their outstanding conditions.
Even if Kondakova and Merkulova had some problems during their performances and scored “only” 28.375 and 28.050 points with clubs, it´s still more than enough to keep the distance to the other teams.
