2013 Russian National Team

Evgeniya Shelgunova, who progresses to senior international eligibility this year and is the only gymnast of her age on the Russian national team.
The Russian Gymnastics Federation has been hard at work, updating the list of those who will be included on the Russian national gymnastics teams this year.

For the women, it is a transitional year, with many of those who matured at or before the London Olympic Games still on the national team, and no retirements announced.  This year, the Russians need gymnasts for the Universiade (gymnasts age 18+), World and European Championships (16+) and European Youth Olympics (14+).  The expected post Olympic retirements are likely to be postponed until after the Universiade, which is taking place in Russia (Kazan) this summer.  So the team this year appears rich and full of strength in depth, but it remains to be seen how many will continue competing beyond the end of 2013.

New to the senior team is 1998 born Maria Kharenkova who will train this year alongside the seniors before progressing to full senior competitive eligibility in 2014.  1997 born Evgeniya Shelgunova went through the same introductory period last year and is expected to qualify for major senior competition this year, while 1996 born Polina Federova appears on the senior national team listing for the very first time.  The senior reserve team includes former World Championships team members - for example, Kramarenko, Belokobylskaya and Myzdrikova - and also many of the burgeoning youngsters from last year's Junior Europeans, most noteably, Viktoria Kuzmina, Ekaterina Baturina and Yulia Tipaeva.  Do not forget that Maria Paseka made the final Olympic team from a starting point on the national reserve last year.

The senior men's team seems less altered, perhaps reflecting the longer competitive lifespan of male gymnasts, but in the senior reserve and junior ranks we see the progression of such gymnasts as Grigori Zyrianov, Sergei Stepanov, Artur Dalolyan and Ivan Stretovich who have all performed well in local junior competition over the past years.

Go-Tribe has transcribed the list (see below) and has also developed the most amazing resource at her website, Videos of Russian Gymnasts, where you can find the list with links to videos of all the gymnasts, where they exist.
