Academy gymnasts have completed a workout in Minsk before the start of the Crystal Rose tournament

Athletes that will represent the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy at the Crystal Rose international tournament have completed the first training session in Minsk.

Academy Coach Olesya Kovaleva told about the mood of gymnasts before the competition start: 

"Today in the morning they were self-possessing and I would not say they were relaxed. They are eager to perform. Certainly, they probably have inner agitation but they appear to have a very vigorous attitude for the performance. Everybody wants the tournament to start sooner, to go to the floor as quickly as possible and to demonstrate the entire job we have done."

The Chrystal Rose international tournament with Academy gymnasts participating will be held in Minsk from August 4 to 6.
