Artistic gymnastics to fly Russia's flag in Rio

In the absence of Russia's track and field athletes, gymnastics will bear much of the national sporting responsibility at the forthcoming Rio Games, says coach Sergei Starkin.  Denis Ablyazin is Russia's main medal prospect in gymnastics and will begin training for the Games today.  At the Russian Championships (early April) he will perform his programme for European Championships. The plan is for Denis to have his Olympic routines ready by then.
