"We will be happy to come back here!" Gymnasts from Donetsk talk about the training camp in the Academy

Gymnasts from Donetsk Darya Alyoshina and Viktoria Vershinina shared their impressions from conditions in the Academy.

"There is a very cool hall, very beautiful walls, very good platforms, comfortable to jump. The ceiling is also high, you can throw high and do various elements. A very beautiful panoramic balcony, beautiful view from the window."

Viktoria tells us how the day of gymnasts goes on during the training camp.

"We wake up and go for a run. After the run, we rest a little, half an hour, and go to breakfast. After breakfast, we also rest for 10-15 minutes and go downstairs for training. We train until 13:00, sometimes until 14:00, we rest until 16:00, and now the second training begins."

Darya noted that she started practicing in group exercises a while back and therefore she is additionally learning the parts:

"I came here to try myself in group exercises. I was put in groups. Yesterday I was learning the hoops parts, ribbons, and balls. In general, we are working." 

Gymnasts also thanked Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva for the opportunity to practice in the Academy.

"We want to thank Alina Kabaeva for inviting us, we are really touched. We will be happy to come back here!"
