Russians at Maribor, from Russian Gymnastics site

"Four out of four possible medals were won by the Russian gymnasts in their first world cup competition of the year. The fifth gold medal was won by the men's team. The triumphers: Anna Myzdrikova (vault), Yekaterina Kurbatova (bars), Kristina Goryunova (beam and floor) and Konstantin Pluzhnikov (rings). Also, Myzdrikova was second on floor, Kurbatova on vault, and Goryunova on the bars. The young gymnast, Andrei Perezhnikov, from near Moscow, at his second competition on the nationals team, took third place on pommel horse.

Already, in the second successive competition of the year, the Russian gymnasts have shown good results. And if at the European championships they proved that, then the strongest continent at Maribor were the Brazilian team, still following the school of the present Russian trainer Oleg Ostapenko. It is necessary to consider that our team in Maribor was mostly different from at Europeans.

Among the men, Konstantin Pluzhnikov from Severska has risen to the top of the podium for the first time. Andrei Rodionenko, senior coach, said after the European Championships that Pluzhnikov should appear among the strongest in rings.

Andrei Perezhnikov, bronze medallist on floor, has trained only half a year so far with the national team."
