Coaches have not declared gymnast Ablyazin at the European Championship because of the features of the new selection for OI – Gymnastics News – Summer

At the 2016 Olympics, Ablyazin won two silver medals (team tournament and support jump) and a bronze medal (ring). In his badets there is also the money of the Games-2012 in the basic jump and the bronze in the free exercises. The Penza athlete specializes only in basic jump exercises, rings and floor exercises and does not support uneven bars, horses or cross bars. "We do not plan to declare Ablyazin for the European Championships in Glasgow". – This is due to the changes in the selection rules for the Olympic Games – 2020. Denis in the new conditions is now optimally winning his ticket to Tokyo through the individual selection, he will now be fully selected by others criteria. In 2018 and 2019, he will have to perform at eight stages of the World Cup, and according to three or four best results shown in these tournaments will be selected for the next Olympic Games. "

" Denis, as you know, he only talks about three shells, and if you put him in the team, then for him someone has to act on Asymmetric bars, the horse and the crossbar, "continued the TASS interlocutor. – And the Olympic team is no longer composed of five people, but of four, and the compensation goes to the first three. The price of the error in this scenario is significantly increased. Suppose that on the horse, one of the four gymnasts falls and receives the minimum number of points. And Ablyazin is not going to the horse, and this low score will enter the credit and our team will fall back sharply in the score. "

Alfosov pointed out that if Abliazin will be included in the team for the World Cup, then his individual selection status will lose, and the country will lose the opportunity to win an additional license for the Olympics

"The new selection rules for the Olympic Games, drawn up by the International Olympic Committee, provoked a storm of discussion. The same Ablyazin will now lose the opportunity to bring the World Championship and European Championship medals on his crowns: rings, support jumps and free exercises. Our federation has written letters asking them to adjust the new Olympic selection system, which is not practical for National Federations. But everything remained unchanged ", – concluded Alfosov.
