The Belarusian national judo team came to the Academy of martial arts to prepare for the Grand Slam tournament, which will be held in Tbilisi from March 21 to 23.Senior coach of the national team Alexander Kotlovsky spoke in detail about how the training process will take place in Sirius.<blockquote>"This is our third time at the Martial Arts Academy, specifically at Sirius. We must give credit where it's due, to the base. This base is one of the best, I am not afraid to say this, in the world: 12 floating tatami, a gym for general physical training — no questions. And the most important thing we come here for, of course, is the Russian national team sparring.&nbsp; And of course, we are happy to come to this training, for an experience exchange. We brought the strongest team to spar, train, and fight together. It turns out that we will immediately fly from Sirius to the Grand Slam in Tbilisi, that is, the actual preparation for Tbilisi will take place at your base. And your Russian team is also preparing for it, so joint training camps, I think that this experience will have a positive effect on our dynamics, and I think on yours too," Alexander said.</blockquote>

The atmosphere here is also very good, everyone offers support. I am grateful that I am performing here. A very important competition. And we had to not let down the country, our entire team, the coaches, the choreographers. Not let anyone down. We prepared for two training sessions. We also had a separate training session where we worked on all our risks and throws. We worked on the tracks because it is highly valued now. Artistry is the most important thing in the exercise. I had a dance with sabres. I was a little serious and also a little cheerful. And my ribbon was also fiery. I enjoyed the performances. I was also surprised that I was chosen, because it was an honor that I was noticed, recognized. I’m very glad that I was noticed and rewarded," she said.</blockquote>
