Relive Russian Cup Event Finals

If you missed the Russian Cup stream because you were asleep or didn't know it was streaming then you can watch it below! The Cup shed light on the continuous bad luck the Russian national team has been experiencing over the last couple of years. The team is not as injured as before but with the possibility of Denis Ablyazin and Aleksandr Balandin both being out of Worlds is something and Nikolai Kuksenkov possibly coping with an injury. It could be worse as was seen at last year's competition.

The winners on the women's side were Sosnitskaya, Komova, Mustafina, Mustafina. Vault was by far the weakest piece shown at the Cup but respectable. Komova proved that she still has that beautiful form that made her World Champion on bars. Mustafina showed that even coming off of an injury she was still commanding on beam and floor.

The closest finals were bars and beam, Mustafina came in second on bars and first on beam. Maria Kharenkova performed a good routine but was unable to perform the same routine that she performed on day one. It was not filled with major errors but rather with one bobble on her layout and the missed connection out of it. Couple that error with Aliya connecting the bulk of her elements propelling her to first place.

The even final winners on the Men's side were Belyavski, Kuksenkov, Ablyazin, Britan, Kuksenkov, Ignatyev. Kuksenkov impressed by performing quite well with an injury to his back.
