Arina Paimetova shares how her experience helped her at the All-Russian Hopes of Russia competition

Arina Paimetova from Moscow competed at the Cup of the Strongest under a quota from the Sky Grace International Association.

The gymnast shared how her experience at major tournaments helped her at the All-Russian Hopes of Russia competition in Yekaterinburg:

"This year was very difficult. I didn't do well at the championship, but thanks to a quota from the Sky Grace International Association, I competed at the Cup of the Strongest. I gained experience, and it was easier to compete here."

The athlete shared how she practices her routines:

"My coach and I work on the image, determining who I should portray. And I can watch a film or video to understand and convey the image. When we were composing the clubs, I was supposed to represent a flamingo. But then we changed our minds, and it has gentle, colorful music. My ribbon is very cheerful, danceable, and colorful."
