Olympic champion Alina Kabayeva gave instructions to gymnasts before the Sky Grace Cup in Qatar

Olympic champion Alina Kabayeva gave instructions to gymnasts before the international Sky Grace Cup tournament in Qatar.

She told the students of Irina and Alina Gusarova to continue doing their work no matter what.

"No matter what happens, you are working. You don't have to prove anything to anyone. And you don't need to show anything. You're just doing your job."

The Olympic champion advised Karolina Tarasova from Donetsk to have fun, noting that the gymnast likes to perform.

"Come on, my good one! Come on, my sunshine! With the same mood! Don't cry, don't cry. Forget it, leave everything here. You need to go out there and enjoy the process, training and competitive. Especially since you love performing."

She convinced Kristina Voitenko from Novosibirsk that after fruitful work in training, everything should work out.

"Well done, Christie! I told you: You're working so hard, it can't be, I just don't believe you can't do it cleanly. You will do everything because you work, you plow. You just don't work, you plow. Everything will be fine. Good job! We need to calm down: you have only separate species there."

She also praised Vladislav Nikolaenko from Nizhny Novgorod, who recently came to the Academy for training camps before the tournament.

"That's how you showed yourself. You've opened up so much. You're a great smart girl! It's all because there are goals. Do this wonderful sport. You're beautiful in it!"

Ksenia Savinova from Gatchina and Anna Vakulenko from Volgograd also received words of support from the Olympic champion.

"Everyone is attentive, in the mood! The day is coming when we will all fly to Qatar. You are fighting with yourself there. Every view from beginning to end. Everyone, come on! I love you!"

The international Sky Grace Cup tournament will be held in Doha from November 20 to 22, the live broadcast will be available on our website.
