Anna Titova, a judge from the Tula Region, shares her impressions of the performance of the seniors at the first stage of the Cup of the Strongest

Anna Titova, a judge from the Tula Region, shared her impressions of the performance of the seniors at the first stage of the Cup of the Strongest:

"The seniors traditionally delight us with their skill. These are adult gymnasts who can, in addition to doing things very skillfully and technically, also show character, artistry, and charisma. This is very fascinating, of course.Of course, Abracadabra by Milena Shchenyatskaya is memorable one hundred percent. Vladislava Sharonova has memorable clubs. For Eva, probably, the hoop. I think she did well with it. During this competition, she had the particularly good hoop performance and received the highest score for it."

She told how the international starts affected the athletes' programs:

"The gymnasts performed after international competitions in which they participated, in particular, Eva Kononova, Milena Shchenyatskaya, and Nastya Vlasenko. And I think that they made certain adjustments to their exercises, because, of course, the experience of performing at international competitions is a great experience, and I regret saying our gymnasts have not had it for a long time. And in such a short period of time, the girls managed to refine their programs, making changes that the judges certainly could not help but notice."

The specialist also noted the strengths of Eva Kononova from the Tyumen Region:

"Eva Kononova is a young gymnast. In my opinion, she is very fast, very technically skilled. An unconditional plus of this gymnast is a very high level of execution of body elements, as well as the pitch-perfect work with apparatus."
