"It will be interesting to see how they will cope with emotions." Coach Ekaterina Belyavskaya talks about the expectations of the competition in Moscow

Belarus junior team coach Ekaterina Belyavskaya came to the international Cup of the Strongest Athletes of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus tournament together with the gymnasts.

She shared her expectations from the compeition in Moscow:

"Of course, it will be so intense. Because it is always very interesting to see among the strongest, how they will cope with their emotions, how they will show their program, therefore, I think that it will be very intriguing, interesting for the public, and for the judges, and for the coaches. Well, and, of course, for the athletes themselves, for the gymnasts."

The specialist also noted the level of Russian gymnasts, as well as the progress of the Academy gymnasts:

"We always love coming to Moscow. We love competing with gymnasts, because Russia is the strongest country in rhythmic gymnastics. So we compete, see who has become better, who has added something, who has some interesting moments in the exercise. That is why we always prepare very well, we are happy to see all our friends and participate in these events. We have had many performances together with Sky Grace. We came to Omsk for Evgeniya Kanaeva's competitions, and Sky Grace came to us for Crystal Rose, and there were competitions before that. Therefore, as a coach, I also observe how your team gets better with each competition, how the girls progress, how they gain experience. Therefore, it is probably important for each team to show their experience from competition to competition and eventually become such seasoned gymnasts."

International competitions are held in Moscow from August 20 to 22.
