The Official Russian National Team 2016 feat. The Japanese Visitors

The official national team for 2016 was announced and it didn't make much sense as usual. Actually, it did make much more sense than last year, which doesn't say much.

But we have another news. The Japanese women's team is training at Round Lake. The Russians often have training "vacations" with other teams, but rarely get visitors (the Bulgarian team visited last year). I'm pretty sure Valentina Rodionenko once said that they don't want to give away their super secret training tactics. I'm really hard trying not to be mean and say it, but I'm going to say it anyway: Maybe they could give their conditioning program to the Americans?

But I like this Japanese and Russians combo. If we go into math, two times positive makes positive: prettyxpretty=more pretty. And two times negative makes also positive: inconsistentxinconsistent=consistent. So according to my calculations, we will get good results from this training camp.


The complete list of gymnasts on the national team this year is after the jump.
