The gymnasts of the Academy shared their impressions of the tournament after performing at the all-Russian Spring Cup competition.Anna Vakulenko summarized her performance in Krasnoyarsk:<blockquote>"This is a competition on a very large scale. I had a new hoop at this competition, so I didn't succeed in everything with it. So, of course, I will work on it. Irina Zenovka and I came up with the idea that this is an image of some dark forces, and I am like a white angel who must defeat these forces."</blockquote>Karolina Tarasova told us about a gift from a fan and her first experience of participating in a signing session:<blockquote>"A girl gave me this toy after the competition. She gave it to me from the bottom of her heart. I really like it. It will be like my good luck charm. We had a quick question round and a photo session. There were a lot of questions for all the gymnasts. There were very interesting questions. We answered them with great pleasure."</blockquote>Ksenia Savinova named the value of such competitions:<blockquote>"There are a lot of strong girls here, they came from the Russian team. It is also very cool that I am competing with them."</blockquote>And Elina Khabirova noted the support of the team and thanked the Academy coaches for their work done:<blockquote>"I was supported by the girls from Sky Grace, they were rooting for me, the doctors who helped and treated me. "We were given double medals, and I gave one medal to the coach with gratitude and love. I want to thank my coaches - Olga Dmitrievna and Evgeniya Mikhailovna. Thank you for preparing me!"</blockquote>

Darina Yurchenko, the participant in the Scarlet Sails competition, shared her impressions of the tournament and spoke about the characters in the programs.&nbsp;<blockquote>"I want to show myself from the best side. The support is very big. The girls always root for us. I really like Mariia Borisova. I always watch her performances and take notes. Her artistry is gorgeous. I am not very artistic, and now we are working on artistry. You should convey certain emotions to the slow music, and the other ones to the cheerful music. This is very interesting."</blockquote>The gymnast also shared her memories of the Sky Grace Cup, where she won silver with the St. Petersburg team.&nbsp;<blockquote>"I really enjoyed that competition. The pleasant atmosphere, everyone was friendly — memories are only the good ones. I added a combination element of three elements according to rules of the Sky Grace International Clubs Association, doing the turn to the back more."</blockquote>The Scarlet Sails competition is being held in the Zhemchuzhina Center of Rhythmic Gymnastics from May 14 to May 17.&nbsp;

I am very happy when I see these children. And every time I discover something new in them. The children change every day. Their physical abilities have developed greatly. They have become much more at ease on the floor. They have practically stopped being afraid — they do everything very boldly and always expressively. They are very clean in their execution, with amplitude, it is interesting to watch them."</blockquote>The specialist underscored the contribution of coaches and Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva to the progress of gymnasts.&nbsp;<blockquote>"The success they have shown to date is the result of their work at the Academy and the attention they receive from Alina Kabaeva and the Academy coaching staff."</blockquote>The Scarlet Sails competition is taking place in Saint Petersburg from May 14 to May 17.
