"I dream of my name being remembered in the history of rhythmic gymnastics." Vera Larichkova from Belarus talks about her performance at Crystal Rose

Vera Larichkova from Belarus is the pre-junior all-around silver medalist from the Crystal Rose tournament.

The young gymnast shared what she remembered most about the international tournament in Minsk:

"Basically, I managed to pull off everything. I am happy with my result. We will keep working to add more rotational elements and things like that. I went through all my routines well, both clubs and ribbon. I am generally happy with my scores. The Crystal Rose tournament is always such a summer, beautiful, and highly atmospheric event, the one where you can showcase yourself, watch other girls, look at their difficulty level, and maybe review and change something for myself."

The gymnast shared who she remembered from among the other gymnast:

"The most memorable one is probably Sofia Ilteriakova. She performed her routines beautifully and artistically, without any mistakes, and with very nice, extended legs. I really liked it. Also, our national team members did a great job and performed beautifully. Dasha Grokhotova had a really strong performance."

In the exercise with the ribbon, Vera saved the ribbon during the risk. She talked about it:

"Actually, I am supposed to do three forward rolls there, but because it flew too far forward, I had to run a little bit and save that risk. But generally, all of this is practiced over and over again during training, and you just have to learn how to save it every single time."

The athlete also said what she dreams of:

"My dream is to become an Honored Master of Sports, to go to the Olympics, to visit many countries, and to leave my name in the history of rhythmic gymnastics."
