At the international Games of Countries tournament, a judge from India Gawande Mansi Siddhant, had her first experience of judging competitions with Russian gymnasts.
During the tournament, she spoke about her judging experience.
"It was very nice to judge this tournament. I'm judging Russian gymnasts for the first time, because so far I've only judged Asian gymnasts. but judging gymnasts from russia is very very special. It feels really nice. In Russia, the technique and artistry is so beautiful, that it is very difficult for judges to cut marks at artistry and execution, because everywhere the bodies are stretched, they have good amplitude, very beautiful amplitude in their elements," the judge said.
She shared her impressions of the competition and noted that the Indian team will improve its level.
"Coming here is obviously a pleasure for us. If we come next time, we will surely prepare more nicely. We will make sure that the level of Indian gymnastics is raising each and every time we participate in new competitions," she said.
The international Games of Countries tournament was held at the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy, October 19-22.
