"The most important is exactly to overcome yourself." Kristina Voitenko talks about the Russian championship

Kristina Voitenko from the Novosibirsk Region won bronze in the all-around among juniors under the candidate masters of sports program and gold in the clubs at the Russian championship.

She shared her impressions after the tournament:

"We labored a lot, prepared, everything was rather good in the finals. The competition is high, the girls are very strong but all of us communicate, make friends. The most important is even not to overcome someone but exactly to overcome yourself."

Kristina also told us about her programs and the favorite element:

"I have a new hoop routine — it is about the queen of the night, I dance a lot there, so plastic and elegant. My ball is actually the classic one, it is more lyrical. I convey my emotions there. The clubs are bright, fiery. I am a Yakut in the ribbon, everything is also sufficiently bright and vigorous there. All the elements are difficult in somewhat different ways, are attractive in their own way. Still, probably my signature element is nevertheless the fouetté."
