"I really liked this tournament." Academy student Miroslava Monina talking about Volga Federal District Championship

Academy students Miroslava Monina from Penza and Eva Chugunova from Ulyanovsk performed for the first time under the Candidate Master of Sports program at the Volga Federal District championship.

Miroslava shared her impressions from performance after the end of the tournament.

"I really liked this tournament, but there were a lot of issues that need to be improved. After the ribbon, it didn’t work out very well for me, I was upset, but then I decided that I still needed to perform the second object, I needed to get ready for it, try. And I forgot about what happened.”

The gymnast explained why she had felt particular responsibility during this competition.

"It was unexpected, because right before the competition they announced that the performance would be as for candidate masters of sports, not the first category that time. I also had some kind of responsibility, that I am now in for candidate masters of sports, not for the first category.”

Miroslava also told us about goals she sets for herself.

"Work through all the programs to make them even better. Get even higher marks, so that at the next competition everything turns out more stable, better, cleaner, and clearer.”

The Volga Federal District Championship was held in Ulyanovsk from January 19 to 24.
