"My dear coaches!
For gymnasts, not only in sports, but also in life, you are the main example. You become close people and reliable friends for the children. All victories, achievements and records are the result of your work, patience and selfless love for the most beautiful sport.
Your daily contribution to the development of rhythmic gymnastics is invaluable. You raise unique athletes, great champions, introduce the most complex elements and stage incredible, unforgettable programs. And most importantly, it is you who every year makes thousands of little girls who come to the gym for the first time fall in love with our sport.
I wish you health, energy for new achievements and endless inspiration! Happy holiday!"
