Over the week, even after three or four classes I noticed progress in stretching, that they heard me, how they need to stretch, how to do everything properly for pulling, with breathing.&nbsp; And I conducted jumping sessions with the junior group. And they started doing jumps and leaps and enjoying them right away," Elizaveta said.</blockquote>And Olga Minigalina expressed hope that new knowledge will bring new victories to the gymnasts.<blockquote>"The rules have changed in Russia and the international ones changed, and all the children and coaches watched with bright eyes and studied.&nbsp; I think this has maximum efficiency and will direct them to a new season, forward to new victories," she said.</blockquote>
