“Effective presentation and very complex compositions.” Tatyana Gribkova about the performances of Academy students at the Russian Championship

Russia’s Honored coach and judge Tatyana Gribkova evaluated the performances of Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy students at the Russian Championships.

“The girls are very strong, very emotional, they have spectacular exercises, spectacular presentations, and very complex compositions. Both Ksenia Savinova and Elvira Belyaeva. And Eva made me happy that she is, after all, an Ulyanovsk gymnast. Not everything worked out, but I think that the best is yet to come for her,” Tatyana said.

She noted that at the tournament young gymnasts demonstrate a high level of preparation.

“ I’m glad that we have a lot of talented girls, they take a lot of risks, and it works out for them. And this is a step forward for rhythmic gymnastics. I liked the gymnasts who perform here, they are young and can already do so much,” the coach said.

In addition, Tatyana said that athletes from Ulyanovsk are already in full swing preparing for the upcoming Alina-2024 festival.

“Our gymnasts are preparing for the Alina festival, showcase performance has already been choreographed, and everyone is, as always, happy to participate in this wonderful event - the Alina festival. The Ulyanovsk girls are really looking forward to it and are seriously getting ready,” she said.

The Russian Championship, where Academy students are performing,  takes place in Moscow on February 13 to 22.
