Only a few days have gone by since the World Cup in Tashkent, but during this time, our group gymnasts have improved their artistic skills and captivated the audience and judges with their clean execution at the World Cup in Baku. The team members are Alena Seliverstova, Zlata Remchukova, Nelly Reutskaya, Nicole Andronchik, and Alina Proshchalykina.
Nicole summed up the results of the competition and told who helped the team prepare:
"We're very happy that we won medals in the all-around and finals. Over the past two days, we've added artistic emphasis to our routines to ensure we hit them and get an even higher artistic score. The atmosphere was fantastic. When you go out, these big stands are full of spectators, everyone's cheering. Thank you so much for that. Our coaches helped us and gave us feedback. Irina Borisovna also helped. She worked with us on our routines in Uzbekistan. Of course, Alina Maratovna gives us some very important advice. We really want to thank the entire Academy, all the coaches and judges who help us. All the doctors who travel with us and also help us. Ekaterina Konstantinovna and, of course, Alina Maratovna, who always helps us!"
Alina shared what the gymnasts in the kiss-and-cry zone are talking about:
"We analyze the routines, what went well, who did what, who didn't, and then we wait for the scores."
The active Russian champions took second place in the three-hoops and two pairs of clubs final and third in the all-around. The gymnasts also received the AGF Trophy for the cleanest execution. At the tournament, the athletes competed under neutral status.
