For what seems like the umpteenth year in a row, Anastasia Grishina is injured and will miss Russian Championships. It was reported that Anastasia re-injured her knee when she under-rotated a double twisting yurchenko during training this week. She injured her knee after under-rotating a triple twist on floor during last year's Russian Championships.

Bad news for Anastasia Grishina. The 2012 team silver medalist and the 2013 European bronze medalist injured her knee on the floor exercise.

After much speculation and back and forth and back and forth, Ksenia Afanaseyva made her 2014 debut at the Russian Championships.

A new Viktoria Komova graced the gymternet with her presence at the Russian National Championships.

The Russian Championships are happening this week in Penza, Russia. It has been confirmed that all of the major players (excluding Ksenia Afasaneyva) are there.

After much back and forth, it is confirmed that Ksenia Afanasyeva will indeed be competing at the upcoming Russian Championships in Penza.

The word on the gymternet is 2012 Olympic Silver-Medalist, Viktoria Komova is going to be returning to competition at the Russian Championships this April.
