“We got up at five o’clock in the morning and went to the workout.” Academy coach Evgenia Eliseeva about preparations for the Sky Grace 2023

Academy coach Evgenia Eliseeva told us, what helped her trainee Ksenia Savinova from Gatchina to adapt to a different time zone and show an excellent result at the Sky Grace 2023 competition.

“We were preparing in terms of the fact that there is a different time zone here, we had to readjust and we started back in Sochi. We got up at 5 in the morning and went to training, so the children were quite adapted. I’m glad that everything we did brought us quite good results. We redid the program, calculated it to do the maximum of what we can, looked for elements that would be counted.”

The professional also shared her impressions from the tournament and thanked Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva.

“Great atmosphere! Great tournament! This is the first time we are performing at this level with Ksenia, and I am very glad that Alina Kabaeva gave us this opportunity to take part in this strong competition with the strongest children. So it is a great honor for us to represent the Sky Grace at these competitions.”
