Russia identifies majority of Olympic gymnastics team

Viktoria Komova and Aliya Mustafina, silver and bronze medalists in the 2012 Olympic all-around, were named among four preliminary members for Russia’s Olympic women’s artistic gymnastics team Thursday.

They were joined by 2012 Olympic teammates Maria Paseka and Ksenia Afanasyeva on a report published on the Russian gymnastics federation’s website. Komova and Mustafina are expected to compete in the all-around in Rio, according to the report.

The fifth and final spot on the team is up for grabs, though any name on the roster could change with the Olympics eight months away.
