Group exercise members from the Pskov Gymnastics Academy shared their impressions after performing at the Sky Grace Tournament

Group exercise members from the Pskov Gymnastics Academy Valeria Romanova, Alexandra Leontyeva, Alisa Lukina, Sofia Polteva and Elizaveta Romanova shared their impressions after performing at the Sky Grace Tournament for the Northwestern Federal District:

"We are really happy that we have been provided with this opportunity to perform at such a large-scale competition in so large and beautiful hall. And we would like to show all our abilities. We are very supportive for each other, endeavor that we succeed, and say good words to each other."

The girls stressed that the work on artistry is very important:

"We went to the mirror, tried to smile, make each other laughing in order to show our emotions. Artistry has become so valuable because this is the basis of rhythmic gymnastics."

The athletes also told us how they will prepare for the forthcoming all-Russian competition in Sirius:

"We will work a lot on emotions, on throws to each other, and on agility."

Gymnasts from Pskov also highlighted upsides of International Association rules:

"The girls can open up more, demonstrate more their elements and risks according to Sky Grace rules."
