For us, for the Russian national team, this is an ideal option: the girls need to gain experience. The experience of playing not for myself, but for the national team. Therefore, in my opinion, it was absolutely necessary."</blockquote>The specialist shared her impressions of the gymnasts' performance and summed up the results:<blockquote>"It's a good start, a good lesson, including for Masha Borisova: it didn't work out for her, so we need to think over a strategy for preparing for serious start-ups, which we will do. I'm really glad for the group exercise. They finally showed that they are a team. For me, it is very pleasant that they will not stop there, but will move on."</blockquote>
