The Diva of The Bars: Aliya Mustafina Podium Training

Here is Aliya Mustafina training on the uneven bars during podium training for Worlds.

I expect a knockdown, hair-pulling brawl for the uneven bars gold between her and Yao Jinnan. This is the full routine including her new skill (the Seitz) and he signature Mustafina dismount. Looks like Aliya has been making sure to maintain her conditioning on uneven bars.

Again, I do expect her and Jinnan to fight for the gold medal.
