Penza's own Denis Ablyazin posted a massive 7.1 Difficulty score on floor exercise to take the gold medal Saturday as the Russian men's gymnastics championship continued.

Ablyazin, who turns 20 in August, scored 15.567 for first place Saturday in Penza. At the Voronin Cup in December, Ablyazin earned a 7.0 D score for a loaded routine that included a whip to layout Thomas; full-twisting double layout; double-twisting front to immediate double front; running full-twisting front 1 3/4; piked Arabian double front; 2 1/2 to front full; and a triple twist.

Ablyazin said there is work to be done on his routine, which earned him 8.467 in execution.

"I had some mistakes today on the sixth pass," he said. "My floor routine still isn't quite ready — there are improvements to be made."

Ablyazin said he hopes to contribute five events, all but pommel horse, to the Russian team's Olympic effort this summer in London. Fifth on vault at the 2011 Worlds, Ablyazin is aiming for Olympic finals on floor, rings and vault.

"I understand that I can challenge for medals on three events," said Ablyazin, who scored 15.800 on still rings in qualification. "Rings are already in excellent condition. My difficulty score is barely lower than the other guys on the team — it's .2 below Alexander Balandin and .1 below Konstantin Pluzhnikov. We will probably increase the difficulty but it's not for sure yet. My second vault is ready. Tomorrow we will see if it will be possible to make it."

Specialist Andrei Perevoznikov won pommel horse, while all-around runner-up Emin Garibov won high bar.

On Friday, Sergei Stepanov, 17, won the junior all-around title in the Master of Sport category. In the two-day race, Stepanov edged Kirill Prokopyev, 165.300-165.034. Grigory Zyryanov won the bronze with 164.401. Prokopyev picked up the floor exercise and pommel horse titles while Stepanov won still rings.

Fifteen-year-old Ivan Stretovich, Friday's all-around champion in the Candidate for Master of Sport category, won two titles Saturday.

Competition concludes Sunday with the remaining finals.
