"We worked late every day, practicing. And not in vain!" Eva Kononova on the results of the international tournament in Beijing

Eva Kononova from the Tyumen Region shares her emotions after the Sky Grace Cup International Tournament  and Beijing Top Open 2025.

"The impressions are only positive. I can't even imagine how I performed here. I have a lot of emotions, and all of them are only positive. I am incredibly happy!"

The gymnast thanked her coaches for their help in preparing for the competitions and recalled the important guidance that helped her achieve such a result.

"All my coaches helped me: Evgenia Eliseeva, Olga Minigalina, Elizaveta Zorkina. A lot of help was provided to me by Alina Maratovna, who worked with me. We worked late every day, practicing. And not in vain! I was told to do it boldly, with spirit, just to do it for the soul, for us, for Alina Maratovna. Alina Maratovna said: ‘There are no small details, you did it from start to finish, performed, and then relaxed.’ Huge thanks to the entire Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy. My enormous gratitude to Alina Maratovna, to our director Ekaterina Dyukova. And I am incredibly happy that I represented the Sky Grace Association. I hope I managed to do it well. Also, thanks to my coaches: Evgenia Eliseeva, Olga Minigalina, and Elizaveta Zorkina. And many thanks to my first coaches and Vera Shatalina for their support, confidence in me, and love."
