"Motivation is a great love for what you do!" Alina Harnasko speaks about her victory at the Crystal Rose

Alina Harnasko won the all-around and all individual finals at the Crystal Rose tournament and became the absolute champion of the competition in Minsk. 

The gymnast shared what the Crystal Rose tournament means to her:

"It is hard to imagine for me what the time already is for my performances at the Crystal Rose tournament. This is the memory for me, it is the tournament where I was growing, where I was improving, and where I so nicely keep the level over the years. I am very pleased that the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy highlights our tournament as the first one, the most memorable, such international one. It is friendly indeed; everybody talks about that."

She also talked about the new ribbon program:

"I nicely ended the fourth event in the program with the ribbon. I have revamped my leotard before this competition: I have created such back where I have the fire, where I have the flame and the entire design of my exercise. So lyrically and so beautifully, and very memorable for me."

The athlete also named her main motivation:

"The big passion for my work is probably the greatest motivation. This is what drives me, this is what holds me here, for what I am here."
