President of the St. Petersburg Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation and director of the Zhemchuzhina Rhythmic Gymnastics Center, Tatyana Kolesnikova spoke about the city championship, in which two Academy gymnasts Mariia Borisova and Alexandra Borisova (out of competition) are performing.

"All the gymnasts from all the athletic schools of St. Petersburg perform with us. And we are having a selection for the Russian championship, which will take place in Moscow very soon. It is also the first big, all-Russian competition like this. Therefore, we are preparing diligently," Tatyana said.

The specialist also assessed Masha Borisova’s progress after moving to Sirius.

"We are very happy that Mariia Borisova, our student, has come to us, of course. She started her gymnastics career here and is now training at Sky Grace. I really liked her today. She has grown emotionally, she is very artistic, she has matured a lot, she is turning into such a young woman," she said.

Tatyana also noted Sasha Borisova’s programs. 

"Very physically prepared, very beautiful, moved very beautifully. Also a new program. It was probably a little difficult today. But we are very glad that she came here to try it out. I think all the spectators enjoyed it very much today," she said.
