"It is a great honor to perform at such competitions!" Coach Irina Filatova from the Penza region talks about the tournament for Sky Grace partners

Gymnasts from the Penza region, together with coach Irina Filatova, came to the tournament for partners of the Sky Grace International Clubs Association.

The specialist told how the exercises of her students changed before the competition according to the rules of Sky Grace.

"The rules are slightly different, they are different. We've been redoing the program. For the girls, the transition was quite difficult precisely in working out the difficulties of the body — cooperation, exchanges. What is new in these rules is that every child can do something special. And it is evaluated a little differently. We have a lot of talented children in our country with excellent data, who are just created according to these rules."

And gymnast Nicole Krivozubova thanked Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva for organizing the competition.

"We have been performing according to our program for quite a long time, but here are completely new rules, completely new elements. It is a great honor for me to perform at such competitions. I am very grateful to Alina Maratovna for holding such large-scale competitions for us."

The first competitive day of the tournament is November 28. You can view all the competition days and competitive performances on the website skygrace.ru live on the air.
