Before the start of the international Games of Countries tournament at the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rythmic Gymnastics Academy, the Russian national team gymnast Ulyana Janus from the Omsk region shared her expectations from the competition.

"There is a cozy hall here, and it seems to me that the competition will have a very good atmosphere.  It’s a great happiness and a celebration to perform at these competitions in this new beautiful hall. To have something to remember.  I just want to perform for myself, so that the coaches are happy," Ulyana said.

The athlete also noted that she likes working with the jump rope.

"I competed with a jump rope for quite a long time, before I became a candidate for master of sports. I really like working with the jump rope," she said.
