Russian Championships and Cottbus Updates

The Russian Championships officially start on the twenty third with the qualifications and the all around. On the twenty fifth is the team final, and on the twenty seventh and twenty eighth are the event finals. Aliya Mustafina and Anastasia Grishina will not compete at the Championships, Aliya for unknown reason, and Anastasia is probably still out with a back injury. As you can see below, you can see the participant list for the Cottbus Challenger Cup. Apparently Yao Jinnan is not competing, but I am not sure why.

It is nice to see so many countries competing, the only big top level gymnastics countries that are missing are the USA, Italy, Brazil, and of course North Korea, but for obvious reasons.
