"To be present at this competition is a great incentive!" Judge Natalia Terentyeva talking about the Sky Grace Grand Prix in Minsk

Natalia Terentyeva from Samara is among judges of the tournament in Minsk. She is working at the international competition for the first time. She is also very happy that it is exactly the Sky Grace International Association holding them.

During a break between performances of gymnasts, the professional told us why it is so valuable for her that her international career starts right in the Association.

"I am very happy, very pleased that it is precisely according to the Sky Grace rules that I have my first experience, because for me, as a coach, as a judge, these rules are very close in spirit, in my perception and in the vision in which rhythmic gymnastics must move forward and develop. When you leave the Sky Grace competition, you, of course, have a lot of creative thoughts in terms of work; for children this is a great incentive to improve themselves."

The judge also shared her opinion about Sky Grace rules.

"In order to quickly switch and perform exactly according to the Sky Grace rules, the gymnast must have extraordinary abilities. She must have great skills because there are more requirements here. It's interesting, it's more complicated."

Natalia Terentyeva explained why she is so fond of being the judge at our competitions.

"These competitions are historical. These are the first regional qualifying competitions, the first competitions of the strongest that took place in Sochi, now competitions with the participation of international athletes. And, of course, to judge all this, to be present at these competitions, to see them, is a great happiness and a great incentive."
