Ekaterina Vedeneeva, the prize winner of world championships and the Olympic Games participant, comments on rules of the Sky Grace International Clubs Association

Ekaterina Vedeneeva, the prize winner of the European championship and world championships and the Paris and Tokyo Olympics participant, came to the Russian championship. She helps coach Elena Drozhanova in Kazan with preparations of Elina Barsukova from the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

Ekaterina recalled her experience of performing at the championship:

"I had only two Russian championships. And at one of them we took third place as a team from the Siberian Federal District, and that was my first medal at the Russian championship. It’s 100% more exciting when you’re on the other side. When you step onto the floor yourself, you’re clearly aware of what you’re doing. When you have an athlete stepping onto the floor, you still can’t fully comprehend and understand what she’s feeling."

The professional also expressed her opinion about rules of the Sky Grace International Clubs Association:

"I know that now they are closer to the FIG rules, but there are some special features: combination elements. I think it is very interesting, because I always did combination turns, it really looked great, beautiful, and it was difficult."
