"Sky Grace gave me the opportunity to perform, and that's when my progress began." Angelina Ipatova talks about Russia’s Youth VI Summer Spartakiad

Gymnast from St. Petersburg Angelina Ipatova summed up the results of her performance at the Russia’s Youth VI Summer Spartakiad-2025.

"I managed seven exits out of eight possible. I didn't manage to show the routine with the ball in the final. But the most important thing is that I was able to pull myself together for the other three events and do them even better than in the all-around. So, overall, I'm happy," she said.

The athlete also noted after which competition she began to make progress.

"Probably, it was the Grand Prix, when the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association gave me the opportunity to perform. And from there my recovery and progress began," the gymnast said.

The gymnast spoke about her responsibility to the team.

"For me, it’s joy. It's still exciting to perform. It's a big responsibility to perform for your city, to represent the St. Petersburg team. All the girls tried their best. I'm glad that it was my contribution that helped the team win the all-around," Angelina said.

Angelina also shared her plans for the summer.

"There will be a break from training, but we will devote this time to admission, since I took exams and now I will have time to choose the university I want to go to and submit an application, documents," Angelina said.

In case of equal number of points in the team championship, the winner was determined by the second best result among the individuals from St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod, so Angelina helped the team win gold medals.

Earlier, at the Alina Kabaeva Grand Prix Champions Cup, the gymnast performed as part of the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association.
