Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva announced that the Sky Grace tournament will be held in China this year.<blockquote>“We will be holding Sky Grace for the first time among juniors and seniors. And for the first time we will hold Sky Grace in Shanghai, China,” the Olympic champion said, while speaking with young gymnasts at the Academy training camp.</blockquote>What’s different about Sky Grace tournaments are the rules that differ from the international ones.<blockquote>“In the International Gymnastics Federation, the exercises with objects work well, but the body lags behind. We tried to strike a balance within the Sky Grace rules. Both the object and the body work for us. If you do complex elements, then you get a good grade. That is, the risk is justified,” Alina Kabaeva explained.</blockquote>The Sky Grace-2023 Tournament will be held in Shanghai this November. The competition is organized by the Alina Kabaeva Charitable Foundation.&nbsp;In 2022, the tournament was hosted by Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy in Sochi, and in 2021 at the VTB Arena in Moscow.

We try out programs, we change something here and there, we see if it’s good or bad, the judges tell us what counts and what doesn’t."</blockquote>She also shared her plans for the future.<blockquote>"Now we'll go home for a week. I plan to recover there, improve my health a little, so that everything will be fine for the second stage."</blockquote>The gymnast answered how she manages to combine studies and big-time sports.<blockquote>"Bachelor's, master's degree — it was much easier. I studied in my hometown, I went to school, we sort of adjusted training to my study schedule, somewhere adjusted studying to training. Now I study in St. Petersburg and it is much more difficult, I have to fly several times a year, pass as many tests as possible. Always very tight deadlines. I try very hard."</blockquote>&nbsp;
