Russian senior national team is already gathering at Round Lake for the next camp but those who attended the Olympics were given a break and are only expected to go back on August 22nd. This camp will be the first in preparation for the individual World Championships in October in Japan.
Valentina Rodionenko said that Artur Dalaloyan who is still recovering from Achilles injury will be at the camp:
“Right now there are gymnasts at the camp that are capable of vying for participation at the World Championships in October, our immediate reserve athletes. The main team will come to Round Lake on August 22nd. Artur Dalaloyan will definitely come, he called us the day before yesterday and confirmed his intention to be at the camp. He’s on vacation with his family now. Our Olympic champions Angelina Melnikova, Vladislava Urazova, and Viktoria Listunova will come to the training center as well. Belyavskiy’s participation in this camp is still in question. We are also waiting for Denis Abliazin, and Nikita Nagorny at this camp.”
Earlier, David Belyavskiy, Nikita Nagorny, Angelina Melnikova, and Lilia Akhaimova all said they plan to take breaks after the Olympics and do not plan on restarting training right away.
