Alina Kabaeva arrives at the Olympic Arena of Beijing University of Technology

Alina Kabaeva arrived at the Olympic Arena of Beijing University of Technology, where the third international Sky Grace-2023 tournament starts on Friday, December 15.

The Olympic champion shared her emotions before the start of the competition.

“We arrived in China, in Beijing. Happy, content. The weather greeted us as if we were at home. We brought them snow. The children are happy, they are playing with snowballs and making snowmen. I hope everything goes well for us. For the first time we are not holding these competitions at home, but visiting our friends, in China, in Beijing. In a beautiful hall where the Olympics were once held in 2008. Where, by the way, Evgenia Kanaeva won gold. And I was an honorary audience member! I hope that everything will be alright. Good luck to all! I am very, very glad to be here in Beijing,” she said.
