Russia: LIVE Pre-PT Training Hits

I'll be updating this page as often as I can find news. Check back very often and scroll for the latest info. Here's what our Russians have been up to so far at Worlds:

-Podium Training starts in 25 minutes, guys!

-The guys at breakfast:

-Leaving after morning training:

-They mostly did dance thru's on Day 1 and then spent extra time on their dance skills, as Seda is doing below. Interestingly, BB and UB were not practiced on for long but they have til tomorrow afternoon to work those apparatuses before their evening podium training.

                                                              

-Paseka threw the cheng towards the end of training. She did two, both with spotting.

-This is the stadium and the highlighted red and yellow lines are where the judges will sit this year (click to expand pic). WTF? How are they supposed to see everything accurately? Is the arena  too small or something so the judges have to sit in what basically looks like VIP seating i.e. NOT THE BEST PLACE TO BE JUDGING SOMEONE. These girls work too hard for this moment to be getting screwed over like this.

-According to volunteers/fans at the Hydro stadium, Afan has replaced her [much loathed] floor music with something jazzy. Yass.

-Right now Paseka is the only one vaulting a DTY in training. The rest doing FTY's.
