At the recent press conference, both Aliya and Vika gave short interviews. You can finds videos of them and the ROC's website.
Olesya Mikheeva has found time to provide some translations - thank you!!
Aliya's Interview.
�Operation was done on November 3rd, so about 3 weeks ago, so now I�m recovering/rehabilitating until December 7th, I�m not allowed to jump/run/go upstairs, I�m still wearing a cast. This is the last week of this. After that, I will start a more difficult recovery to build muscles, rehabilitate so in February I can get back to jumping. �
The interviewer asks about her injury and she says she had a meniscus injury. (don�t know how to translate the details)
When can you start training again?
�I think I�ll start training again when I�m out of the hospital because I�m still concurrently rehabilitating my back so until the New Year I will be doing that.�
The interviewer asks something about the judging and Aliya gives a quote, but I�m not quite sure how to translate it. Then he asks if she�s ever been to Brazil and she says �I�ve never been to Brazil, but I want to. Of course I want to.�

Viktoria's interview
About herself on the team in 2015:
�Well without saying, this was my best year because I was finally able to compete, in the European Games we took 1st as a team, unfortunately I wasn�t able to compete individually because it was only 1 per country, and of course the world championships. Of course the world championships didn�t start out too well, in the team competition I performed poorly, there�s not much to hide there, but we finished well, even with gold medals, there were even 4 gold medals, first time in history, that was something incredible.
About returning to the team:
�It was very difficult to return because I didn�t compete for 3 years, those were the very worst years of my life because it was just training and then injuries and there was no more desire because I was preparing and then getting injured right away. I wanted to quit and I tried to quit more than once to be honest, but the Olympics gave me the push to keep going.�
Who impacted your decision to keep going or was it just you?
�Well of course my parents and I myself�. well actually I kind of quit at home, and then Andrey called me and told me to come back right away in 2 days to Lake Krugloye and there I started training slowly and slowly developed a desire again slowly. Also I had fought with my coach and then when I had gotten back into shape I called my coach and said I was ready to work and let�s forget about it and so that�s how I got back on the team.�
About Olympics in Rio
�I have the moral strength, I want to go there, we could say this is my last chance to go because after that I won�t be able to, I�ll be somewhat old for gymnastics. Well of course I want to hope for the best but I don�t want to guess because it�s pointless because anything can happen at the Olympics.�
On life outside of sport
�I rarely have time outside of sport, but I like to sew.� She continues to talk about details related to sewing or types of sewing I�m not sure that she enjoys. �I like to hang out with friends, go to movies, or just hang out. This year we saw on the internet that there would be a meteor shower and went and watched it which was really cool, out in the open air with friends, what could be better.�
What about personal life?
�For now, just sport, I don�t think about personal life for now, first I need to get everything out of sport and then attend to personal life.�
