"We are rooting for everyone, learning from many teams." Group exercise gymnasts from the Ryazan Region talk about the Sky Grace Cup

A group exercise team gymnast from the Martial Arts Academy Olympic Reserve Athletic School of the Ryazan Region assessed the performance at the Sky Grace Cup interregional competition:

"We really liked the atmosphere here, the hall; it is very cool to perform here. We are for the first time here, we have only positive emotions. Concerning the performance, not everything worked well, we could have performed better but we are satisfied. We worked most of all on cleanness: it is judged more rigorously here. We added some elements, changed the work. We root for everyone, support and learn from many teams. We do not believe we are the best; we have the very high competition in any case."

She told us how the team would prepare for the next stage, the all-Russian competition:

"We will work even more. Only going ahead and improving our program!"

The gymnasts also thanked their parents and coaches.

The group exercises team from the Martial Arts Academy Olympic Reserve Athletic School of the Ryazan Region consisting of Sofia Chirkova, Veronika Kozlova, Ksenia Makarevskaya, Valeria Semikova, Alyona Bugakova and Anastasia Skotnikova won gold among masters of sports at the Sky Grace Cup for the Central Federal District.
