Our girls came to support us. We prepared for this tournament for a long time and worked very hard, so it was a little nerve wracking to perform here. When Alina Kabaeva comes, it is already a great support, because she helps, gives advice. And on the second day she even looked at my clubs and helped me, made comments, adjustments," Anna said.</blockquote>The gymnast also assessed her progress after moving to the Academy.<blockquote>"I really like the Academy because I grew up a lot there. We study and train there, and it all has a big impact, it helps me become stronger and grow. I am very happy that I won bronze, but we will continue to work to fix mistakes and strive for better results," she said.</blockquote>

Academy coach Zlata Tulubaeva worked as the Head judge at the interregional Southern and North Caucasian Federal Districts&nbsp; Sky Grace Tournaments.She shared her impressions of the competitions in Sirius.&nbsp;<blockquote>"For us, competitions are always a holiday. This is a big holiday for children, for parents, for coaches. They are always useful for children. We also see children, how they grow professionally, we celebrate it," she said.</blockquote>She also named the priority in the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association judges’ work at tournaments.<blockquote>"Fair judging is certainly the main point in the rules and in judging. This is the priority of our rules. If the girls do not present themselves in terms of artistry at this age, this is not proper. Artistry is one of the main directions both in new rules and, naturally, in our rules. The Sky Grace Association provides the gymnasts, the junior gymnasts and the girls of senior age to perform at the international stage. That is, there is one more floor where they can demonstrate themselves, and this is very important for their development, for their development in the professional aspect," she said.</blockquote>

The interregional Sky Grace Tournament in Barnaul was visited by the President of the Altai public organization Elans Athletic Center, Marina Andrienko.She told what is special about the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association tournament and how they help to identify new talents.<blockquote>"The atmosphere is very warm because this is a good light tournament that is staged by Alina Kabaeva. It takes place in the Siberian Federal District and the Far Eastern Federal District for the second year in a row. It was in Novosibirsk last year. The Altai Territory hosts it this year. We paid a lot of attention to artistry because the Sky Rules do focus on esthetics, on beauty, on difficulty of elements, and we therefore endeavored to make programs as difficult as possible. My heart was won over by fair judging from the first tournament and, most importantly,&nbsp; that gifted gymnasts with good physics are indeed winners here.&nbsp; I believe that this is one more venue for the girls to demonstrate their upsides, and that this is a great contribution to the development of global rhythmic gymnastics in general." Marina said.</blockquote>
