Aliya Mustafina, Angelina Melnikova and Daria Skrypnik performed at a gymnastics gala in France over the weekend. Apparently no one was interested in seeing poor Melka and Dasha, but we have a Periscope recording (with a quality of an old potato) of Aliya, because the Queen is not to be ignored.
I feel like screen recording another screen recording in order to post the routines here would be a bit too much, so I'm just posting the links this time. Here is her bars routine to New Rules by Dua Lipa and her beam routine, unfortunately without a sound.
We obviously have new rules on bars, because there's choreography! And old ones on beam, still no acro series. And I know the routines are just for exhibition purposes at a gala, but still. I'm actually really impressed about that bars routine. Her stamina is not there, which is expected at this point, but she still managed some good handstands and a dismount. The first half of the beam routine was pretty terrible, but she eventually seemed to get the hang of it. And she had a new element, a split ring jump.
The only footage I found of Melka is this one, but it's shot from far away. She fell on the layout, because she always falls on the layout (GET RID OF IT ALREADY), but the rest of the routine actually looks pretty good.
If someone has better footage, or anything from Dasha and Melka, let me know.
