The head judge Olga Frolova told about the most memorable programs at the Russian Cup

The head judge Olga Frolova told which gymnasts' programs she remembered at the Russian Cup:

"I really like Masha Borisova's ball routine. It's very interesting, both artistically, and I think it suits her body and personality very well. Also, Ulyana Janus, clubs are simply something very impressive, spectacular, interesting."

The specialist also told how the judges' work was structured, and noted the progress of the athletes:

"The competition is very important because the Russian national team is being formed, and the gymnasts' rankings are being established. And, of course, everyone is competing for the top spots and the best scores. We try very hard to monitor every tenth score. That's why we call the panels to give the most accurate and correct scores. They've improved a lot. They've noticeably improved both in artistry and technique. The risks have become more challenging. The bodywork elements have become more complicated. The routines in the execution panel have become cleaner. So, the progress is quite obvious. And it's not easy for us, the judges."

The Russian Cup was held in Kazan on December 5 and 6.
