Here is the view out of our hotel window
I am really disappointed that the Ukranian team is not here and that Russia is coming only with Lukonina and Mamun. Lukonina bores me. Mamun is an interesting gymnast: originally from Bangladesh but lives in Moscow, as far as I could find out on the web :-) It should still be fun!
Wondering if Elena Mierzon from Isreal will be here. I saw different versions of the participants' list and she is on some of them but not all.
Team Belarus will be here with some pretty amazing gymnasts, though, it seems, and Kazakhstan brought their number one, the graceful Alyabieva. Also, Viktoria Bogdanova from Estonia is a fun to watch young gymnast.
