They're Vloggin'

The newest craze at Round Lake is vlogging and I guess it's a major step up from their previous interests like babies and weddings, rotten teeth and medical tourism. So here'a a quick roundup of the Russian YouTube channels.


Nikushkin Day from Nikita Nagornyy is the groups most popular product by far and Nikita is streaming live on Periscope several times day, often with his girlfriend Dasha. He also has many videos of the Euros, Rio, vacations and his and Dasha's other adventures.

Angelina Melnikova also has her own channel on YouTube, but isn't very active. Her last video is was shot in Bern during Euros (it has adorable Grebs) and before that she posted a few vlogs and challenges with Seda and Dasha K.


The gymnasts from St. Petersburg, Elena Eremina, Varvara Batalova, Lilia Akhaimova and Valeria Saifulina have a joint channel with vlogs and a random assortment of other fun. Their latest video features the Massilia team in France.



I think I already mentioned that Ekaterina Sokova posted a video of herself back in Round Lake on her channel, but I'm not sure of her status since then. She also has vlogs and this amazing video of fun at the gym. With her dancing and everything she's just too cute.


No one's content is that interesting, just silly teenage stuff, but it's nice to get a peek of their lives beyond competition and press days at Round Lake.

  1. I've seen this mentioned in a few posts now (a day at round lake, here), so I thought I'd ask: what happened in 2015/16 with Vika and Aliya's teeth?

    1. They both had dental cysts that had to be removed around the same time and took them out of training for a week or so. I think Vika even had two during the same year.
