"It’s great that Sky Grace came up with a format like that!" National teams’ coaches talk about the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association team

At the BRICS Games, coaches of national gymnast teams from the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association team explained why it was important for Asel Arapova from Kyrgyzstan and Daria Grokhotova from Belarus to participate in the tournament with Sky Grace.

Angelina Voronkevich noted that the International Association gives athletes from the country a unique chance to compete at these competitions.

"This is, of course, a huge competition. This is an excellent opportunity for us. And we are happy to come here and represent our country at these beautiful Games. Our goal is to perform well, to perform cleanly, to protect the honor of our country and get a bunch of positive emotions. The Sky Grace international team has a representative from Kyrgyzstan. This is Asel Arapova.  It is so cool that Sky Grace designed this format, so that any gymnast from another country can also perform at this competition."

And Yulia Markovskaya added that Belarusian Daria Grokhotova is happy to represent the International Association team at the tournament.

"Certainly, Dasha is very happy. Dasha is a very committed and very diligent athlete. She perceived such an invitation as an opportunity to demonstrate herself once again. She is probably in her best shape and is ready to represent the Sky Grace. Many thanks to Alina Kabaeva for the provided opportunity! We always set the highest targets for ourselves, endeavor and work every day. And furthermore, when an opportunity appeared for us to represent the Sky Grace, naturally, our diligence increased greatly,” Yulia said.

At the BRICS Games, Asel Arapova from Kyrgyzstan and Daria Grokhotova from Belarus are competing as part of the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association team. Sky Grace gives athletes from other countries the opportunity to qualify for the largest tournaments.
