Anastasiia Iliankova who won silver in the all-around at the Russian Cup missed the European Championships due to an injury. Valentina Rodionenko said to RIA Novosti that now Iliankova is better and she’s currently focusing on bars and beam in her training because training all four events is still hard on her back:
“Iliankova is working, she’s recovered, she’s working on bars and beam. On floor, too, but that affects her back more”.
Rodionenko also said that the final selection for the Worlds team will be done during the next training camp that will start on September 17th. The current camp at Round Lake started with a week of recovery and some national team members like Elena Eremina and Viktoria Komova are not in attendance. This camp will end on September 8th and then the gymnasts will have a short break before coming back for the Worlds selection camp.
