She told us what judges pay attention to when evaluating exercises with a rope.

"The rope is a very difficult apparatus. The girls probably tried their best, practiced a lot to show such good result.The girls are very strong. Many of them worked cleanly, brightly, and showed their compositions very decently. Certainly, straight arms. No knots to protrude definitely; the rope — so that children worked widely with it, not touching the body anywhere, and catches to be clean," Elvira said.
