"She charged us with positive emotions!" Second string of the Russian national team talks about meeting Alina Kabaeva in Novogorsk

The gymnasts of the second string of the Russian national team shared their impressions of the meeting with Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva during trainins in Novogorsk:

"We were very surprised when Alina Kabaeva came to the hall. We saw our childhood idol. She offered to train us. We were even more surprised by that. She charged us with positive emotions and with her good mood. She gave us many valuable comments that we remembered and will use in our work. When you throw to yourself, you imagine that you are an individual. And when you throw to someone else, you throw to your partner. And if you threw it, you are already looking at the throw of another person."

Also, the athletes told why they love group exercises.

"It's harder in a group. In a group it doesn't depend only on you. It looks bigger. There are more people on the court, it's more interesting to watch. A lot of objects fly at once."

Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva visited Novogorsk and during her visit looked at the training session of the second string of the Russian national team.
