"This hall charged me up!" Milena Shchenyatskaya on the atmosphere at Sky Grace-2023

The Russian national team gymnast  Milena Shchenyatskaya became fifth in the all-around at the international Sky Grace-2023 tournament with a score of 160.80 points. After the performance, the athlete spoke about her excitement before going on the floor and appreciated the atmosphere of the Olympic Arena of Beijing University of Technology.

"I felt like I was performing for the first time at such competitions. There was excitement. Certainly, it was a great pleasure for me. I wanted to go to the floor as quickly as possible, I was eager to perform here. This hall inspired me!  It happened so for the clubs routine that I was not called yet but I was already standing on the floor, already prepared. And I understand that, Oh! I have not been called yet, while I am already standing ready with clubs!  Overall, I am satisfied with my performance. I know this is not my maximum, that I can do much better. Everything should be worked out not merely in physical terms but also in moral terms. This is because we have everything originating from our mind. And I need to work more exactly on that.  I am fond of these rules, they are very unusual. We change an element to the one presented in the Sky Grace table. I have such elements in the program because of that, which I made for the first time in my life and presented them at this competition," she said.
