Qualification had the youngest gymnasts in the Perviy Razryad category competing their compulsory exercises.
AA starting order and EF qaulifiers were drawn up after these qualifications.
All Around finals had all gymnasts competing their free programmes.
Scores were added up to determine the final rankings and added to the regional standings.
Kristina Pravdina's parents both were at the competition, as they had several of their gymnasts competiting, noteably 11 year old Dar'ya Goncharova in the Perviy Razryad category. Young but already quite tall (compared at least to the dimunitive other girls in her category), Dasha did excellent, making many finals and medaling even.
They told me their daughter Kristina is OK. She is fully back in training, after going through the phases while recovering from her broken elbow in the Tournee France - Russie earlier this year. Kristina needs to loose some weight still, but is expected to make her return in September's Russian Cup.
Both Nadezhda Ivanova and Nadezhda Chikhiryova have recovered from their muscle injuries. Ivanova's magic seems to have worn off a little, as she was struggling still, especially in the bars.
Alyona Donodina, 14 years old showed she is one of the finest gymnasts in Russia, despite her less than desireable finish in EYOD a few weeks ago. She posted an impressive 37.100 in the AA finals, the best score of all, and did superb in BB finals for 9.700!!
Yuliya Lozhechko has learned a new dismount from BB, backflic - Arabian double front.
Dar'ya Elizarova still hasn't fully recovered from twisted ankle, and didn't compete her trademark switch leg split leap - punched forwards salto on BB.
Excellent, perhaps even superb, artistry and expression were shown in FX by both Kseniya Afanas'yeva and Alyona Pronina in the KMS category.
In the PR's, Dar'ya Goncharova and Tat'yana Solov'yeva also know how to dance and express themselves to their music.
