Kristina Voitenko shared her impressions of performances in the Academy hall during the Games of Countries

Kristina Voitenko, a student at the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy from Novosibirsk, explained why the international Games of Countries tournament is of great importance to her. 

“This tournament is important because, to begin with, this is the first time when we are performing under the Sky Grace rules. This is the first time we are performing with the jump rope in a long time. It is also important because it is in our hall and Alina Kabaeva is here, and she supports us. Before the tournament, she came to our training, looked through the programs, told us where and what needed to be changed and improved,” the gymnast said. 

The athlete shared her impressions of performing in the hall, to which the Academy students are already accustomed.

“We have assessment training sessions here almost every week, it is very helpful. This is because when we go to the floor, well, we are not actually afraid,” Kristina said. 

At the international Games of Countries tournament, which took place in Sochi, October 19 -22, Kristina Voitenko won gold in the hoop exercise and silver in the jump rope exercise according to the junior program.
