"The girls here should grow up to be very good athletes." Irina Viner - about the Academy

Together with the gymnasts of the Russian national team, the President of the All-Russian Federation of Rhythmic Gymnastics and the Head coach of the national team, Irina Viner, came to the Academy for  the international Games of Countries tournament. 

She supported the innovations in the rules of the Sky Grace International Association.

"The rules are right in the amount of difficulty and interesting elements. They should be varied, and there must be an exercise with a jump rope. It is very interesting. That’s why we try to bring leading gymnasts here, such as Lala Kramarenko, whose program is completely varied and every exercise is a performance. This is what we should strive for," Irina said. 

She also assessed the conditions at the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy.

"The girls here, of course, should grow up to be very good athletes, because they are led by such a star like Alina. And their conditions are the best in the world," she said. 

The international Games of Countries tournament was held at the Academy, October 19-22.
