Not everything went well in the ball, but we are also happy to have a medal. We will work on the mistakes. Regrettably, the clubs and the ribbon haven't worked out yet.

Chinese fan Yu Junting, who came to the Rhythmic World Challenge Cup with posters of Russian gymnasts, explained why she supports Sofia Ilteryakova from Moscow and Arina Kovshova from the Novosibirsk Region:<blockquote>“I think these competitions are going very well. Both the venue and the organization of the tournament are incredible. I saw Sofia become a champion at the competition this year. After that, I subscribed to her and noticed that her elements are quite difficult. At the same time, she performs them very smoothly, and I really like it. That's her style. I liked Arina when I saw her performance with the ball. I really like this program, she performs it very, very smoothly, very elegantly and sensually. That's why I especially like this particular program of hers. Her other performances are also very good, but I still like this program with the ball the most.”&nbsp;</blockquote>The gymnasts are in the Russian national team roster.
