"The training was very beneficial." Elena Karpushenko about the Academy training camp before the Young Gymnasts tournament

Russia’s Honored coach Elena Karpushenko came to the All-Russian Young Gymnasts competition with student Eva Chevtaeva.

The coach spoke about how the training at the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics  Academy benefited the gymnast before the tournament.

"The training benefited her in a big way.  Because she performed this well the first time, and everything that could have worked out worked out for her. She was brave and tan, and this is also thanks to Sky Grace. We did a very good job. It was calm, we had a lot of time in the hall. This was visible on the set , there was some kind of, you know, calmness and confidence. To be honest, I didn’t even expect to perform so well. So a huge thank you to all of  Sky Grace from me and from Eva," Elena said.

Eva Chevtaeva has been to the Academy several times before for training camps, under the leadership of Elena Karpushenko.
