Evelina Tandalova from the Tyumen Region told why she wanted to train at the Academy:
"We came here for a training camp in June. I enjoyed training here among the stars. And the coach offered to try."
At the Russian Championships, she showed her abilities to Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva:
"I did the ball, the hoop there, and showed the elements. I was anxious at first, but then I realized that there was nothing to worry about. And everything was already fine."
Evelina remembered how she performed at the Sky Grace Cup International Tournament and Beijing Top Open 2025:
"I really enjoyed performing there. True, it was a little scary, because such a large arena was there, plenty of spectators, but I liked it."
She also talked about the goals she set for herself after moving to the Academy:
"The goal is probably to achieve stability, high results. To see how everyone trains here, to gain a lot of experience from them. I like to practice here, it's so airy, there are not so many people."
And she shared her impressions of working with Evgenia Eliseeva:
"She is kind, cheerful, always positive. I love working with her!"
Evelina thanked everyone who helped her take this step:
"I want to thank the Gymnastics Center, where I trained, for giving me the opportunity to come here and try. To my coaches — Irina Alekseevna and Olga Pavlovna. And thanks to Alina Maratovna for watching me. Thanks also to Evgenia Mikhailovna for working with me, and thanks to the choreographer too!"
