LIST OF THE RUSSIAN GROUPS' GREATEST WINS 2017-1994

Below is the Russian groups wins list, with the music of each of the routines. And without comments...

Russia has been reigning RG as the only superpower since the early 1990s. I really appreciate the hard work, talent, resources of any kind they put in their RG development, their talent... However, I would rather restrain from commenting their success recipe, because in my opinion, politics has been interfering with RG way too much in this country concerning judging, media coverage, audience attitude/conditioning, all at the expense of sportsmanship. Some testimonies of the improper and disrespectful way some Russian RG gmnasts are treated, certainly seriously overshadow their tons of gold too.

Russians are one of Bulgarians' closest peoples, and I can't but hope that one day Russian RG will really shine with a positive balance of their numerous merits and strengths over the downsides.
