Viktoria Komova to miss Russian Championships


Viktoria has informed fans via her VK.com group that she will miss nationals because she is taking treatment for back pain.

This obviously isn't great news for the returning champion, but pain is a way of life for gymnasts and it is right that Viktoria now rests and tries to get better before the 'business' end of the year.

With Russia's veteran all arounders out of the picture, it will be an interesting competition in Penza.  Melnikova, Tutkhalyan, Kapitonova and Kharenkova are now Russia's main all around prospects.
