Look I would LOVE to have my little moment with floor music and choreography… but I honestly think adding music to MAG would be a horrible idea.
I’ve seen most of these athletes “dance” on a night out… and y’all don’t want that lmao
The War in Ukraine takes another victim. Retired Ukrainian Gymnast Anastasia Bachynska shares that she lost her father.
My condolences to the family and may the Hero rest in peace

Russian and Belarusian gymnasts won’t be allowed back for the European Championships.
At the FIG Executive Committee meeting it was informed that any decision regarding possible admissions can only be made after receiving specific recommendations
You know what’s crazy? Kuliak will be back competing before Oleg Verniaiev. One showed support for a war and the other failed a drug test, now tell me what deserves a bigger punishment
Ilia Kovtun unfortunately will not join his Italian team for the Serie A Final Six. His reason is that he does not want to participate in a competition where a Russian gymnast (Artur Dalaloyan) will be present
The teams for the Swiss Cup have been announced
🇨🇭1 Lena Bickel / Noe Seifert
🇨🇭2 Anina Wildi / Andrin Frey
🇺🇦 Yuliia Kasianenko / Illia Kovtun
🇫🇷 Melanie de Jesus dos Santos / Paul Degouy
🇮🇹 Martina Maggio / Nicola Bartolini
Oleg Verniaiev is opening his own Gymnastics School. The concept of the school is “Gymnastics for everyone” with the goal to make the sport more accessible for everyone not just those who dream of going elite.
The training sessions are lead by Olympian Vladislav Hryko
It’s easy to forget but he’s still only 19 years old. At his young age he has become the main spokesperson of the Ukrainian Gymnastics Federation always making well thought out statements about a very difficult topic with a maturity way beyond his years
Ukrainian Olympic Champion Oleg Verniaiev cleared to compete after CAS reduces his four-year ban for doping to two years. Since the ban began on November 5 2020, he will now be cleared to compete.
Illia Kovtun had two surgeries on his right foot. He’s been suffering from unbearable pain for the past three months and likely shouldn’t have been doing any gymnastics at all.
Doctors estimate a recovery period of 4-6 weeks before he gets to return to full training
Still do not understand why there’s that stupid rule at Junior Worlds where you have to do all events in qualifying to compete in the apparatus finals.
Shocking news: Apparatus specialists already exist on Junior level!
Interesting fact about Illia Kovtun:
With his bronze in Antalya he became only the third Ukrainian male gymnast who has won more than one medal at the European Championships in the individual All-Around. The other two being Oleg Verniaiev and Igor Korobchynskyi.
Please someone safe Illia from his coach
His leg swell up and turned blue after his floor routine in Euros QF yet his coach still let him do two vaults
🇷🇺 and 🇧🇾 will miss the 2023 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Antwerp (🇧🇪).
The FIG executive committee decided to uphold the Suspension of the athletes and a decision on possible readmission has been postponed until July. - President of the Rus Gym Fed Vasily Titov
Illia Kovtun was named Athlete of the Month April by the NOC of Ukraine.
He will receive a cash prize, and exclusive statuette and a commemorative plaque.
At the same time his personal coach Irina Nadiuk was named “best coach of the month”.

Illia Kovtun is now in the very small circle of Ukrainian MAG who managed to win two European championships titles in one year. The others are Oleksandr Beresh (2000) and Oleg Verniaiev (2015/2017)
Artur Dalaloyan believes that banning Russian flag and anthem at international competitions is excessive because, he claims, “we’re not a threat to the other [athletes]”
Most young gymnasts at Worlds: I’m happy if I can do all my routines without any major mistakes.
Illia Kovtun: “I don’t plan to leave the World Championships without a Medal”
I love his confidence

The thing is Kuliak is basically a PB specialist at this point so making him a Pb Olympic Champion would make most sense. Do you know who won 🥇 that year? Oleg Verniaiev
Could have been intentional
Ukrainian MAG Head Coach confirms the team for the World Championships. The team will be Illia Kovtun, Igor Radivilov, Panteley Kolodii, Mykyta Melnykov and Bohdan Suprun. They hope for a medal winning performance from Kovtun and Radivilov.
The Russian MAG are really acting as if half of their A team isn’t breaking apart. Dalaloyan? Can’t even do two full AA’s because of his hands. Nagornyy? Barely trains, Ablyazin? Also injured, Kartsev also not in best shape. They could’ve fought for bronze at best
🇯🇵 Chiaki Hatakeda / Kazuma Kaya
🇦🇹 Selina Kickinger / Vinzenz Höck
🇪🇸 Laura Casabuena / Joel Plata
🇹🇷 Bilge Tarhan / Ahmet Onder
🇺🇸 TBA
The Swiss Cup will be held on November 27th in Zurich.
After hearing the news that Illia won’t be joining his Italian team I was expecting to see him compete tomorrow with KTV Straubenhardt. Coach Gladow sadly announced that Illia has to sit out this competition cause he recently got injured.
