[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s disturbing is they all the Russians look prepubescent in a way that the gymnasts do not, and certainly salami to does not.  It looks like starvation.  It feels like we are watching the hunger games, these kids have been thrown to the wolves for our entertainment.  [/quote]

Eh, it depends on the year. Some very young ones, some not.

While watching the qualification round of the 2021 Russian Championships, what I found particularly noticeable was how young their women’s artistic gymnastics (WAG) program has now become. Gymnasts born in either 2004 or 2005 have dominated the qualification round. Had medals been awarded for qualification scores, this age group would have taken 10 of 15 individual medals (66%).[/quote]

But with the Russian gymnastics team, I don't get the impression that there is yet another group of younger gymnasts ready to move up.  Members from the Olympic team from last summer are likely to form their core for the next cycle (barring injury of course).  Whereas the skaters are likely to be completely different 4 years from now, heck maybe even next year.

Does Mishin coach any other female skaters besides Liza Tuk?  She is the rare example of a Russian skater who is somehow hanging in there into her 20s- I really hoped she would make the team this year.[/quote]
