“I hope we have a great tournament!” Alina Kabaeva on Sky Grace-2023 in Beijing

Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva thanked those responsible for preparing the site for the international Sky Grace-2023 tournament:

“For the first time, we are  not holding the tournament at home, but among our friends. I am very, very grateful to you for your attitude, for your work. If there were no like-minded people, nothing would have happened. I hope that we will have a wonderful tournament and a wonderful gala concert. As you know, 19 countries will come, so together with you we will develop world rhythmic gymnastics,” she said. 

Alina Kabaeva also spoke with Xia Dao, the director of the competition from China, who expressed his gratitude.

“We love you very much, you have a lot of fans in China. Thank you for coming and making such a huge event in China. You are a great person. The Sky Grace brand is a great advancement for the global development of rhythmic gymnastics,” he said.
