I really enjoyed performing here. The audience was very supportive, they clapped and shouted. I performed well, but in the ball I risked doing three somersaults, but I dropped them. I will work, practice. We all prepared very hard, trained. And after the Cup of the Strongest, we went straight to Mexico. The flight went well, it was long, but we managed."</blockquote>The gymnast also thanked Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva and the Academy team for helping her prepare:<blockquote>"I want to thank Alina Kabaeva, Evgeniya Eliseeva, Olga Minigalina, Elena Egorova, Elizaveta Chernova, all-all-all of the coaches, the Academy staff, everyone who helped us.
