The gymnast from the Sky Grace International Clubs Association Yana Sakovich from Moscow told how the Brilliant Cup — 2025 tournament in Shanghai turned out for her:<blockquote>"I liked the tournament; the hall design was very beautiful. I did not succeed in everything that was thought of and planned at this competition. I will continue working to perform much better at the next competition, so that everything is fine. We had the recovery camp, we had apparatus training, general physical training, dancing, and independent work. But at the same time, it's a little difficult to get in shape after a break."</blockquote>The athlete also shared how the preparations for the start were going and thanked those who helped her:<blockquote>"We trained in two places. I was preparing at the Academy with Irina Gusarova and also in Novogorsk with Alina Gusarova. I tried to perform brightly, beautifully, as Alina Maratovna says. I want to say a big thank you to my coaches, I want to say a big thank you to the entire Academy team. I would also like to thank a lot Alina Maratovna separately for the opportunity to go to these competitions, to take a walk around Shanghai.

This is the first event of the season. Of course, there was excitement.

Alyona Makartseva, a participant of the Crystal Rose international tournament from Tajikistan, told which of the athletes she is inspired by:<blockquote>"Alisa Stamat, Milena Shchenyatskaya, Nastya Salos. I really love Alina Harnasko because she is fast, very emotional, and a very cool girl."</blockquote>She shared which element she does best:<blockquote>"My favorite is the sideward one. Everything related to the side move, a sideward turn with a bent leg, a sideward turn with a straight leg. I have good shape when doing the side moves — I like it on its own."</blockquote>In addition, the gymnast singled out the athletes of the Academy and noted that she likes the rules of the Sky Grace International Clubs Association:<blockquote>"I know many girls from the Sky Grace. Karolina Tarasova, Ksenia Savinova. Ksyusha — her hoop were very memorable, I think, to everyone. How artistically she did it there, everything quickly.
