The judge of the Artistry Panel Anna Titova shares her impressions of the Russian Championships

The judge of the Artistry Panel Anna Titova shares her impressions of the Russian Championships. She told us how programs of gymnasts changed:

"The artistic team, in my opinion, is one of the most interesting teams because it's not the technical merit of the routine or its difficulty that's judged, but rather the gymnast's sense of composition and music. I judge this team in both group routines and individual routines. And I want to point out that, in fact, even compared to, say, the Russian Cup, the gymnasts have improved greatly in this aspect. It's very interesting to watch, because the compositions are diverse, the images are varied, the innovations are interesting, the so-called effects, which we evaluate separately."

The specialist also highlighted participants with the brightest compositions from her point of view:

"Nicole Rimarachin Diaz performed, and I really enjoyed her hoop routine; I even judged it. I think it was very natural and suited her perfectly. Sofia Ilteryakova was also fantastic. She was so good at hitting every musical accent, playing with it, and still performing the most difficult elements, that's a high level. I also really liked Masha Borisova. And I liked Eva Kononova, she did her routine very dynamically."
