"She wants to show results and be at her best!" Lyudmila Galchenko talks about Varvara Toporova's trainings at the Academy

The Academy's new gymnast, Varvara Toporova, came to us with Russia’s Honored Coach Lyudmila Galchenko.

The specialist shared her impressions after the first day of training and told how Varvara is getting back into shape after the New Year holidays:

"Varya, of course, trained with great zeal today, with great desire. I can see how hard she's working. She wants to show great results and be at the top. And, of course, that makes me happy, and I look forward to the future with great hope. Today was a very interesting day. I had a morning training session with Irina Nikolaevna Gusarova. I learned a lot from that training. Today we had a general fitness program, we worked on elements, risks, skills, a little bit of apparatus training, and a choreography lesson. Today we also had a swimming assignment in the pool, which Irina Nikolaevna gave us. So I think she'll be getting back into shape pretty quickly."

Lyudmila thanked Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva for inviting her to the Academy:

"New conditions and new teachers, coaches. I think this will be a great incentive for her. And for this, too, a big thank you to Alina Maratovna, because we needed it right now. So I'm filled with very positive emotions today. It's a real post-New Year's gift."
