Russia's Viktoria Komova and Emin Garibov earned comfortable victories Saturday at the 7th Dinamo International in Penza.
The Dinamo event is the final pre-world competition for Russia, which is set to finalize its lineups for next month's world championships in Tokyo. All 16 members of Russia's world training squad competed, with mixed results.
Komova cruised to first place, scoring 58.350 with top marks of 15.550 on uneven bars and 14.550 on balance beam. The 2010 Youth Olympic champion, who had ankle surgery in May, scored 14.450 on vault and 13.800 on floor exercise.
2008 Olympian Ksenia Afanasyeva, who turned 20 on Tuesday, was second (56.675) with a miss on beam (13.375) but the top mark on floor exercise (14.550).
Ukrainian Natalia Kononenko, the bronze medalist on uneven bars at the 2010 Europeans, won the all-around bronze (54.125) as only two Russians were eligible for medals.
European and Russian Cup all-around champion Anna Dementyeva had the best score on balance beam (14.775), but erred on vault and uneven bars.
After a disappointing showing at the Ghent Challenger Cup, Russia's Maria Paseka impressed on vault in Penza, landing a Yurchenko 2 1/2 for 15.600. Tatiana Nabiyeva had the second-best scores on vault (14.900) and uneven bars (15.100).
Garibov outscored 2008 Olympian Sergei Khorokhordin by nearly 1.5 points. Belarusian Artyom Bykov finished behind seven more Russians, but won the bronze as the top-scoring guest.
Russian veteran Anton Golotsutskov, who made his debut at the 2003 Worlds, could be in doubt for Tokyo with a distastrous performance in Penza. Newcomer Denis Ablyazin impressed on Golotsutskov's standout events, scoring 15.100 on floor exercise and 16.200 on vault.
Russians Anastasia Dmitriyeva and Lev Nosov won the junior titles.
Competition concludes Sunday with the apparatus finals.
