Ekaterina Dobronravova, a participant in the training camp, shares what classes she likes at the Academy

Ekaterina Dobronravova, a participant in the training camp at the Academy from the Krasnodar Region, shared what classes she likes most:

"The coach and my mom filled out the application here, and I ended up here. I really like the classes in English. They are taught by Olesya Kovaleva. We do general physical training, stretching and apparatus preparation entirely in English."

The gymnast also talked about the ribbon element, which she learned with coach Stella Sorokina:

"I created an element together with my coach. I did a regular planche turn and just put the stick into a half-toe. It turned out to be a very unusual element. I’ve been good at ribbon since I was a child, and I like it."

The training camp at the Academy will last until August 10.
