The three winners of the Moscow Championship summed up the results of the competition.Sofia Ilteryakova shared her impressions of winning the all-around at her first major competition among the seniors.<blockquote>"This was my first serious competition in the senior category. There were some difficulties, new elements were added, skills and risks were increased. But, in general, it wasn't all that difficult. Of course, there were mistakes. There's a lot we need to work on. We'll look at our routines to see where things aren't counting. But we still have a whole month before the Russian Championships. We'll work even harder and perform even better."</blockquote>Ekaterina Sazonova, who took the second place, talked about how she performed four fouetté pivots during her clubs performance. She didn't always manage to do this even at workouts!<blockquote>"Not at all. It was probably a fluke. I hope I can do it again next time. But I worked really hard on my fouettés, and it was only in the performance that I managed to do it. I had a wonderful experience, and the support was incredible. I loved the adrenaline rush. Overall, the emotions were very positive with so many competitors."</blockquote>And Maria Dmitrieva, the bronze medalist in the all-around, noted the experience she gained from participating in the tournaments under the quota of the Sky Grace International Association last year.<blockquote>"These competitions gave me new experience. I learned to perform more confidently at these important competitions. Just a little more work, and everything will be great."</blockquote>The Moscow Championship was held from February 1 to February 4.

A new training day was held at the Academy with Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva

In Novogorsk, 1996 Olympic silver medalist Yana Batyrshina shared her expectations for the new season:<blockquote>"It's the most exciting time right now. All the programs have been written, and we're currently refining them. Many of the girls who were juniors have become seniors this year. I think the season will be very interesting. Especially since most of our girls have already received neutral status and are finally entering the international arena. So I'm really, really looking forward to seeing how they perform there. The start of the season isn't just a battle of nerves. It's also about who has prepared the best new programs. Considering, of course, how last season went, we're expecting Masha Borisova to be in just as great shape. We're expecting Lala Kramarenko, really looking forward to it, because we've all really missed her; she's got all these new programs. Sofia Ilteriakova, too. Karina Kireeva, who is also returning now."</blockquote>Yana also told who her favorites are and which programs from last season she has the most favorite:<blockquote>"I really like Masha's ribbon. Basically, all of Masha's programs. Eva Kononova, who also finished last season on a huge high. And I'm curious to see how she'll start this season. Arina Kovshova, Varya Toporova. I'm also counting on them and have faith in them. Sofia Ilteriakova, I'm thrilled with her ribbon. And, of course, Ulyana Yanus. A gymnast who went straight from junior to senior last year. I believe she'll excel this season, too."</blockquote>
