Alesya Naifonova won gold at Russia-China Games

The rhythmic gymnastics tournament at the Russian-Chinese Games is held according to the Sky Grace International Association rules. Judge Olesya Sadokhina told what their special feature is:<blockquote>"The Sky Grace rules are different from the international rules of rhythmic gymnastics in that they include a first element, a combined element. Gymnasts perform more complex body movements, which is much more spectacular for spectators and helps showcase the gymnasts' talents and unique abilities. I think this is fantastic."</blockquote>The specialist also shared her expectations from the competition in Kaliningrad:<blockquote>"First and foremost, we'll see beautiful, talented athletes from both countries. There will certainly be an exchange of experiences among the children, coaches, and judges. It's very important to maintain this athletic friendship, because our gymnasts have begun to compete on the international stage, so now every competition where gymnasts from other countries compete is especially important."</blockquote>In addition, Olesya Sadokhina noted the strengths of the Academy's gymnasts:<blockquote>"As a coach, a spectator, and a judge, I can speak highly of the group exercises team represented by the Sky Grace team. They are currently the Russian youth team. The girls train at the Sky Grace Academy and come from all over the country. They are undoubtedly incredibly talented, very beautiful girls. The coaches who train them are experienced, strive to achieve the highest results, and are incredibly talented. That's why this team is my favorite. I love them very much. The girls won the Russian Championship, and earned the right to compete here on this floor. We wish them good luck and obedient apparatus. The individual program includes gymnasts from Omsk, Ulyanovsk, the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, and the Yaroslavl Region. I really like gymnast Alesya Naifonova. She's the youngest of the individual program gymnasts, but she's already showing incredibly complicated elements. She has beautiful routines and choreography. I'm watching her improve, watching her grow. She's just taken part in podium training, and she's showing incredibly complicated turns."</blockquote>
