The period from 1993 to 2004 is called the post-Soviet period, and after 2005 it is defined as the new Russian period. In the post-Soviet period, Russia carried the banner of Soviet gymnastics. During this period, Podkopayeva, Khorkina, Kochetkova and ZaMolochko Eva were the world champions in Soviet gymnastics. In addition, Russia has been the first group in the group for a long time, and won the second place in the Olympic Games and World Championships between 1996 and 200 1 for five consecutive times. In 1999 and 2000, it already had the strength to attack the champion. During this period, most Russian gymnasts started their gymnastics career under the good gymnastics training system of the Soviet Union. In their youth, they witnessed the success of famous gymnasts such as Bojinskaya and Guchu. Under the complete training system of the former Soviet Union and under the guidance of high-level coaches, they laid a good foundation for future success. Khorkina became the most successful gymnast in this period, and achieved a gymnastics legend with both glory and regret.

After 2004, Khorkina retired. Molochko's condition also declined. During this period, the Russian gymnastics team mainly relied on young players to support the facade and entered the new Russian period. Pavlova, who debuted at the end of the last Olympic Games, became the core player of the Russian team in this cycle. In the 2008 Olympic Games, she participated in three individual events and all entered the event. In this cycle, the strength of the Russian team declined obviously. Although it won the third place in the team in 2006, the difference with the champion reached five points. In addition, although there were some sparks of recovery in the Beijing Olympic Games, the team preliminaries ranked third, and all events entered the finals, but the overall strength was completely unable to compete with the United States and China. There is also a gap between individual strength and the world's top level. In this cycle, the Russian team has repeatedly been at a disadvantage in the competition with Romania because of psychological problems. In 2007, both the World Championships and the Beijing Olympic Games made serious mistakes and were reversed by the players. After the Beijing Olympic Games, Alexandrov and Ostapenko successively returned to the round lake gymnastics training base. They teach the adult combined youth groups respectively, and will make a final effort for the recovery of Russian gymnastics. In 2009, due to the injury of players, Russia performed badly in the world championships. By 20 10, although Russia won the championship in the European championship, it did not show the strength to challenge the world champion. At the Rutland World Championships, Russia finally produced nearly two years of training results. There are two difficult movements of Y900 in vault, and Mustafena has excellent control over height and landing. On the uneven bars, Nabiyeva developed the high-difficulty action of pushing the bar straight to the teka, and changed the previous arrangement, raising the D score from 6.5 to 6.8. Mustafina also used all the extra points to raise the difficulty to 6.9, second only to the uneven bars player from China; The balance beam boldly enabled Demonty Yeva, and her D score can reach 6.5; Floor exercise, Russia's overall strength is still outstanding. All this laid the foundation for Russia to win the championship. Mustafina won one gold and three silver in the subsequent all-around and individual finals, becoming the best Russian player in a single world championship since Khorkina.

The innovation of difficulty and the mastery of rules have become the main factors for the Russian team to achieve good results in this competition. At this stage when everyone is still adapting to the rules, Russia is at the forefront of each team this time. In this cycle, the real competition has just begun. After the implementation of the difficulty cap, China team has been tied for the first place in the overall difficulty by virtue of the high difficulty of uneven bars and balance beams; Except for uneven bars, the other three events of the American team are excellent. If Liu Jin resumes training, their weaknesses will be less and less; After welcoming Bayrou back, the Romanian team will have a comprehensive difficulty. They have a good foundation in balance beam, vault and floor exercise, and stability has always been their magic weapon. It is foreseeable that after the difficulty, they will definitely join the ranks of the championship. The struggle for this cycle will probably completely break the stage of bipolar pattern and turn into the Warring States period.

But the most prominent thing is the players' injuries and state: Mustafenna, the main player who won the team gold medal in the World Championships for the first time in 20 10, was injured in the European Championship in April. Although she came to Tokyo, she also cheered for her teammates as a spectator and experienced the atmosphere of the game. Khomova, the team's top star, had an eye-catching performance in the 2009 Youth Olympic Games, but she underwent surgery on 20 10 like Mustapha, and participated in the World Championships because of her good recovery. However, in the preliminaries, team and all-around performance, it can be said that it is not as good as one. In particular, floor exercise and balance beam are almost no longer first-line masters. However, Nabiyeva, the second figure in 2009, was not injured, but in poor condition, and the difficulty and completion quality of vault and uneven bars decreased obviously. Even Ksenia Afanasyeva, who won the floor exercise gold medal, was pointed out that winning the gold medal was suspected of being "divided into pork" by the referee. In addition, elena dementieva has multiple problems, such as technology and state, and the other teenagers are obviously not on the stage.
