The Head judge of the second stage of the Cup of Strongest Yulia Dyachenko assessed the progress of the gymnasts from the first stage:

"The strongest gymnasts of Russia are presented: according to the Russian championship in junior and senior programs in the individual program 24 strongest gymnasts were selected, in group exercises there are 10 strongest teams. Each one surprises and captivates, how each one is a character and how each one has an interesting exercise."

The specialist noted the opportunity that the members of the  International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association team received:

"They have progressed a lot, after the first stage all the judges and coaches analyzed the mistakes, there were control training sessions. Of course, from stage to stage you can see how the children are progressing in artistry, in technique, in the complexity of the apparatus they have improved a lot. The girls are not only performing on behalf of their regions, but there are representatives who got here thanks to the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association. Indeed, a huge thank you for this to Sky Grace, to Alina Kabaeva, because especially for the remote regions, this is really very important for the development of regions and the popularization of gymnastics in our country."

The second stage of the Cup of Strongest is being held at the Academy from June 16 to 18.
