Judge Marina Andrienko speaks about her work at the All-Russian Sky Grace Cup tournament

Marina Andrienko from the Altai Territory told about important points in judging at the All-Russian Sky Grace Cup tournament: 

"We must give the score that the gymnast has earned. How she did it, to what extent she did, whether she completed her work with an element, how did she catch risk, whether she completed her turn, how artistic she was, how clean the program was — this is how we must assess her. I believe every judge must have clear conscience."

The specialist also highlighted the gymnasts best remembered by her at this event:

"Sky Grace gymnasts certainly differ from other gymnasts because they have indeed fantastic programs, very artistic. And I believe the only thing left for them is to perform ideally cleanly and that's all. I really like Ksenia Savinova, she does a good job. I am fond of Karolina Tarasova. Styushina is a very good girl, an absolutely distinctive one. I think, excellent gymnasts are from Moscow, St. Petersburg. Many other gymnasts need to certainly work on artistry and on stability, so that the apparatus does not fly outside the floor."

Marina Andrienko, the president and the senior coach of the Altai Public Organization Elans Athletic Center, has already worked earlier as the judge at tournaments of the Sky Grace International Clubs Association, and her gymnasts took part not only in competitions but also in the Alina Festival.
