Russian Championships 2017: Meanwhile in Kazan...

It was a rough start for everyone...

...except for Spiridoz, of course.

And I don't really know what Melka was doing with her hair...

...but I know too well what she did with her jaeger. And piked jaegers and Russians are a sacred tradition not to be messed with, okay?!?

I don't know, maybe there was something wrong with how they prepped the bars. It has to just right consistence of chalk and the secret ingredient.

You're not supposed to drink the secret ingredient! Unless you're Khorkina, of course. Although Seda really would have needed the encouragement...

...but she made it out of that battle relatively unscathed anyway.

Yeah, she seemed happy.

You know who wasn't happy though? Grebs...

...yeah, it wasn't a good day on bars for the actual team, but I'm sure Aliya's baby likes to swing. And it's not like the "actual team" were the only ones in attendance.

The one person missing though, was Vika. But at least her mother made it...

...even if it wasn't the best meet to judge.

Good night, Kazan.
