Russia’s Honored coach Tatyana Gribkova assessed the progress of the Sky Grace-2023

The judge of the international Sky Grace-2023 tournament, Russia’s Honored coach Tatyana Gribkova noted the progress of the participants and thanked Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva for organizing the competition in the capital of China.

“A great tournament! Emotions are overwhelming. So much beauty and professionalism were shown here. Gymnasts from Russia, Belarus and other countries of the world made such great progress, even judging by the prior tournament. The performance with the jump rope was impressive.  The tournament is becoming more and more beautiful every year. The gymnasts are growing and so is their professionalism.  It was not too difficult for us as judges because everything was clear. Gymnasts were preparing specifically under these rules. Concerning the design of exercises, these rules are much more complex than the FIG rules. Gymnasts are growing based on this.  Certainly, they will polish up what they didn’t do well here. A fantastic gala concert. Huge words of gratitude to Alina Kabaeva from all the children, from coaches and judges for the amazing festival, for stunning emotions. For such love to our sport and devotion to it, for loving the children, it certainly means a lot,” the coach said. 

The Sky Grace-2023 tournament was held December 15-17 in Beijing.
