Many fans asking me if Zhenya will retire soon/ this year? read this article the purple words part. Zhenya refused to answer the question about Rio 2016. But I think she won’t last that long. For me It’s good for her to retire this year. I loved her, and wish her all the best. But anyway, it depends on Zhenya. I don’t know her plan, and I won’t ask her this question. Sorry. No matter what I support her decision, just let Zhenya to do what she wants.

Zhenya ranks 1st in AA, Ball and Clubs, 2nd in Hoop and she should be 2nd in Ribbon. (there are mistakes in ribbon ranking)
check FIG World Ranking 2012 lists here:
http://www.fig-gymnastics.com/vsite/vnavsite/page/directory/0,10853,5187-195619-212842-nav-list,00.html
There are many mistakes in the lists. Zhenya got 140 points in AA, she is 1st, but in AA list she is 2nd = =+
And in all 4 apparatus lists, all the points are WRONG! WC Penza in RUS is a category B event, the one Zhenya didn’t compete due to illness. Gold in category B=30 not 50, silver=25 not 45, bronze=20 not 40. therefore for example Dmitrieva’s points in Hoop should be 120 not 140. And Charkashyna’s points in Ribbon should be 89 not 105, then Zhenya should 2nd in ribbon, and Charkashyna is 3rd. Continue reading
