Gymnastics for everyone

During performances, it's important to maintain concentration until the end of a routine and complete all elements. This is exactly what Evgeniya Eliseeva reminded Ksenia Savinova from Gatchina about during a training session in Novogorsk ahead of the Cup of the Strongest final.

Thanks to a broadcast from the Academy, coaches Evgeniya Eliseeva and Olga Minigalina prepared Ksenia Savinova and Karolina Tarasova in Novogorsk for the Strongest Cup final, while supervising Malika Timurshina and Eva Kononova's training in Sirius.

Gymnasts know that winning competitions requires hard work. Karolina Tarasova and Mariia Borisova, along with coaches Evgeniya Eliseeva and Irina Gusarova, are reviewing parts of their routines and preparing for the Cup of the Strongest final!

We attended a rehearsal of the program that was seen by viewers of the Big and Small dance project. We also learned from Academy students Anna Vakulenko from Volgograd and Liya Rodionova from St. Petersburg about preparing the routine!

This advice was given to Mariia Borisova from St. Petersburg by the Olympic champion during the preparation for the AEON Cup world club championship.

It is at these competitions that our little athletes from the free early development groups can show what they have learned during training sessions. By the way, the senior students of the Academy also performed for the spectators and participants with demonstration routines.

The gymnast placed fourth in the all-around among seniors and, along with Ulyana Janus and Ksenia Savinova, won a silver medal in the team competition. Masha is 18 years old, and this is her first competition under the auspices of the FIG — all due to the suspension of our gymnasts, which was introduced in 2022.

Her coach is Evgeniya Eliseeva, and her choreographer is Elena Egorova. All Russian gymnasts who competed in Tokyo are partners of the Sky Grace International Association and competed under neutral status.
