"It's very nice to see how happy the child is!" Graduate's father Nikolai Kozlov talks about Academy ceremony

The Academy held a graduation for young gymnasts from free early development groups.

Nikolai Kozlov, the father of the young gymnast Alena Kozlova, talked about  the scale of the celebration.

"We prepared in advance, bought a dress, did her hair and everything else. Our daughter is delighted. Before that there was a kindergarten graduation. Well, this scale is naturally incomparable with this graduation," Nikolai said.

He also shared what he feels on this important day.

"It’s exciting for me, that is, it’s very nice to see how happy the child is, what positive emotions she experiences.  First of all, I feel immense pride for my daughter, for the fact that she started doing gymnastics, managed to take part in competitions, and even took first place. And, in general, we will continue to work further. It was my daughter who wanted to get involved. She had wanted it for a long time," the father said.
