Head Judge Olga Frolova talks about the Sky Grace Tournament of the Northwestern Federal District and St. Petersburg

Sky Grace Tournament Northwestern Federal District and St. Petersburg  Head Judge Olga Frolova spoke about the interregional competitions.

"The rules have changed a little compared to last year. We have many new judges who will gain practice in the new year. We are interested in training qualified judges, professional judges, whom we will be able to invite to judge other competitions in the future, so it is very important that now all judges in the regions show their professionalism and evaluate children fairly," Olga said.

She also singled out the favorites among the participants of the competition.

"Of course, the Zhemchuzhina Rhythmic Gymnastics Center has always been one of the favorites in many competitions, including even international competitions, so, of course, they will fight for the highest awards, but, of course, St. Petersburg is rich in talent, and I think that there will be gymnasts from other schools who are ready to compete with them," she said.

In addition, the judge also noted the opportunities that interregional tournaments according to the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association rules provide to gymnasts.

"We entered the hall, it was magnificent, beautifully decorated. St.Petersburg is the first city to host our regional competitions. The International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association holds both international tournaments, all-Russian, and regional competitions, which greatly helps to find talented and promising children in the regions," Olga said. 

The Sky Grace tournament of the Northwestern Federal District and St.Petersburg takes place on February 13 and 14.
