"We want to present ourselves with dignity!" Coach from the Sakhalin region Ekaterina Koroleva talks about the Sky Grace Cup

Group members from the Sakhalin region were among the first to come to the Academy for the all-Russian Sky Grace Cup competition. 

The athletes' coach Ekaterina Koroleva noted that the team was glad to successfully pass the interregional selection and get to the all-Russian tournament.

"We’re very pleased that our distant region was able to take part in competitions like this. Before, we had a selection for the Far Eastern Federal District. We passed this selection and got to the competition in Sochi," she said.

The mentor assessed the level of competition in competitions according to the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association rules.

"My team members were born in 2007-2009. They are grown girls. We perform under the Masters of Sports program, and have been training for 10-11 years. Now these competitions will feature very high level teams. Because all the teams that have entered these competitions  already passed a big selection process in their federal districts. Therefore, here every team is, of course, a competitor. And each team is made up of strong girls who have ambitions and big goals, just like us. We also want to show ourselves in the most worthy way, to show our Far East that we also have rhythmic gymnastics, that rhythmic gymnastics is developing, and we strive to show good results," Ekaterina said.

The All-Russian rhythmic gymnastics Sky Grace Cup competitions will be held in Sirius, April 10 to 14.
