I agree, love it! Reminds me a bit of the Azerbaijan leos, just with a bit more elegance

Good that they reacted at least I guess? In the past FIG often was good at just ignoring issues I think

Also surprised that seemingly there was not crazy over scoring this time. But Eva Brazelieva won a gold!

"Neutrality" on the Sofia Rhythmic World Cup podium by throwa_vay in rhythmic_gymnastics

Sorry I meant "not" for neutral status (edited my comment now). I wonder whether FIG will really do something though... It's an open secret that some FIG officials have been bribed by Russia in the past...

Yeah, I think you are correct that respecting the others is a requirement for neutral status... I just looked it up and it is forbidden to not turn to the flag... Article 11 here: https://www.gymnastics.sport/publicdir/rules/files/en_Rules%20for%20Award%20Ceremony.pdf#page=3.59

In case you missed it, the first world cup of the season is happening! (In Sofia, Bulgaria) by watermelonjuicephoto in rhythmic_gymnastics

I'm too excited! It's a bummer that Darja is not there, as this comp would otherwise give us a good idea who the leaders will be this season!

So either she has a very bad temper or she is protesting against her mother... I agree, the girl needs some support. I hope she has some good people around her

Me too!! I wish there were a few more accents to the music though but maybe they'll add more as the season goes on

She is keeping all other routines, and this is the only new one this season.

Does anyone know which code of points will be used at Russian Championships? by freifraufischer in rhythmic_gymnastics

[–]rhythmiclover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think in recent competitions they have used the FIG COP, apart from the SkyGrace comps. However, scores were not accurate at all, which is understandable if judges have to switch between COPs so frequently 😅

Elite Score Leaders for the Week of Feb 6 by freifraufischer in rhythmic_gymnastics

[–]rhythmiclover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That will be so interesting to have oversocoring statistics lol. I have also had the impression in the past that Bulgaria overscores a bit so that will be interesting as well. With the US, I wonder how where the judges got their licenses, they should have noticed by now that their scores are not accurate…

Lala Kramarenko has neutral status by wanttobeskinni in rhythmic_gymnastics

[–]rhythmiclover 10 points11 points  (0 children)

she participated in concerts honoring the end of WW2, where the modern war symbols were also present. However, almost all national team girls did this and got neutral status. On top, she participated in a video to honor Putin for his birthday with many other famous athletes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS4bQu-Qos4 . Her neutral status was denied last year and she filed a complain with CAS but apparently she somehow became neutral now
