The head judge Natalia Lashchinskaya shares her impressions of the Russian Championships

The head judge Natalia Lashchinskaya shared her impressions of the Russian Championships and assesed the preparation of the participants of the tournament:

"The performances are great, the girls are very interesting, the compositions are interesting. They've improved technically. They've improved their work with the apparatus, and now they're paying a lot of attention to the apparatus. And their technical training, and apparatus training, and artistry. Among the group exercises, I remember, of course, our surprise is the 'little swans'. Both the leotards and the music are matched. This is the Sky Grace. I was amazed. And, of course, the famous team from St. Petersburg. The productions are unique, and they are already grown-up girls, they can emotionally express the music that they are performing to."

The Russian Championship takes place in Moscow from February 27 to March 6.
