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>

Important information about the Alina festival

Coach Alina Gusarova summed up the performances of the Academy students at the St. Petersburg championship.&nbsp;<blockquote>"First of all, we are glad that we came here. We haven’t performed on our home ground in our city for a long time, we are very glad that we did it now. Of course, not all the performances went well. But we have something to work on, we will try to make sure that everything works out at the next competition," the coach said.&nbsp;</blockquote>Alina told us what our gymnasts did well and what they still need to work on.<blockquote>"Veronika Malinina performed well overall. She passed all the events more or less except for clubs. Veronika Solomatina performed according to the candidates now. She was born in 2012. Karolina Pakhtusova tried very hard, she really wanted not to let us down. She really wanted to show her best. And this hyper-responsibility of hers, unfortunately, let her down today. Miroslava came with us to St. Petersburg to perform, to try out, because she performs very little, the more performances she has, the better. Lia Rodionova did a good job, she tried. She worked with Olga at the Academy, here I just helped her, suggested something if she needed it. She's great. She approached the competition responsibly, and she did well," she said.</blockquote>She also shared her goal for the Russian championship.&nbsp;<blockquote>"We will prepare hard, train, work on artistry, on the programs completely. So that the children come out confident, try hard, and do not make the mistakes that may have been made now," Alina said.&nbsp;</blockquote>The St.Petersburg Championship was held in the Zhemchuzhina Rhythmic Gymnastics Center from February 26 to March 1.

Coach Anastasia Kontareva assessed the performance of the Academy's students at the St. Petersburg Championship.&nbsp;<blockquote>"This event is one of the most important ones because the next contest is the Russian championship, and this competition is the qualification. I have noticed great progress of the girls that moved to the Sky Grace. They became even better, grew up. Their compositions stand out against the general background. And, certainly, it is interesting to watch them", she said.</blockquote>She also spoke about working with her student Alisa Panicheva, who took part in the interregional Sky Grace Tournament and received the right to perform at the All-Russian competition in Sirius.&nbsp;<blockquote>"She proved what she could at the Sky Grace competition. Certainly, she could have performed better because there were mistakes. This is because we changed exercises for the Sky Grace rules literally in a week before the competition, since they slightly differ. Definitely, it is more interesting for me under the new rules and under the Sky Grace rules, because exercises became livelier, artistry was added, the dance was added and charisma of the children was added in routines", she said.</blockquote>The St. Petersburg Championship was held from February 26 to March 1 in the Zhemchuzhina Rhythmic Gymnastics Center.
