i just came home very tired so i will write only few reaults from the G.P.and short impression.
First,Thank you Russia for giving us Kaneava and Kondakova -
Amazing gymnasts with amazing difficult routines.

The top gymnasts in the hoop final showed very high level,no big drops and amazing difficult routines.
1.Kaneava-beautiful as always but not perfect yet.
2.Kondakova-amazing risks and great expression but not perfect as well.
3.Greava-a great expressive routine but she also had small mistakes.

The ball final was great to watch,very interesting routines.
1.Kondakova-very clean and emotional,really enjoyed from her today
2.Dmitrieva-difficult and interesting expressive routine but with mistakes(and she has an injury in her knee)
3.Greava-a great routine(with one mistake in the pivot),i liked it more then Dmitrieva's routine.

+beautiful touching ball routine from Rivkin.
and difficult amazing ball from Trofimova,but pity about the mistake.

I hope i remember right the clubs final results
1.Kaneava-her only routine with few drops.
2.Alybeva-good and clean.
3.Rivkin-altough it's not her strongest routine,she deserved this medal becauseTrofimova and Rizdatinova had many drops and Dmitrieva and Greava had drops as well.

In the Ribbon final
1.Kaneava-so beautiful to watch !
2.Dmitrieva- with few mistakes.
3.Trofimova-a great routine ! (a better routine then Dmitrieva did-i liked it more..)

Some random personal notes... (Am on a break from photos =)=)=))

At one point when gala was all finished. I turned to Barny and we compared notes about camera settings etc and the galas a bit... Re the galas, fair to say we were kinda blown away! Ok, we both see a fair number of galas year to year. First thing said to Barny was-> wow! Zhenya's gala was different! Was her same golden hybrid rope apparatus with green chiffon costume...except this time Zhenya's presentation was new and even better put together. Dasha Dmitrieva's as well was stunning choreo as ever...

What else... I think it was just after Dalit came over to say Hi! during the mid-day break (yes, I will try to come next year, Dalit!) Was about 10-15min later, am working on labeling images etc in our work area and out of the blue Viktoria Shynkarenko walks over and asks to see her photos. Was I ever blown away!!!!! (I have to explain something here... Hardly ever happens. I don't seek out gymnasts, period. I am not into that. I come to try take nice photos and sometimes write short media-journalist reports. Then hang with my friends when work is finished. Is all good and we are all into RG.) Only I can count on one hand or less, the number of times per year that a major team player, am able to talk to them. With UKR, it just hardly ever happens, period. Yes, I have met Anya (and Toma) once or twice in 10-years...but is very rare.

So whew, I have to say, I am big fan of Viktoria now. She is lovely in person up-close (tall!) and her teammates are just as nice (Viktoria Mazur & Ganna Rizatdinova came over too after a bit). Ok, so meeting team UKR really made my day. What else... I asked her about D-Cup and Viktoria confirmed, it is delayed a bit to later in spring due to re-modeling of Palats Sportu arena in Kiev. Htg bed now, am zonked. Byee all, -T
