How the Alina Kabaeva Grand Prix Champions Cup went? A story by REN TV

Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva summed up the results of the Alina-2025 festival and thanked the large team of professionals who participated in creating the festival.<blockquote>"I want to say many thanks to the children that performed at this festival, to organizers, directors and our whole big team, because without them there will be no such prominent festival that reminds all us about our history, our great history. When we started doing this project, we certainly did not expect that we would make it as such, because we merely showed our beautiful sport, and then it turned further into a very beautiful and important social project," Alina Kabaeva said.</blockquote>She talked about the theme that was chosen for this year's festival.<blockquote>"We celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory this year, the victory that remained in the hearts of our people. And certainly, we chose a challenging topic — about the young heroes of the Great Patriotic War," she said.&nbsp; Therefore, the festival turned out to be a wonderful one. The festival changed by new ideas coming, since we do not stand for our achievements but develop and we indeed understand that perfection has no limits,” she said.&nbsp;</blockquote>The Olympic champion also noted that the festival gives gymnasts from different regions the opportunity to present themselves.&nbsp;<blockquote>"This festival in actual fact is one more space to see these children from regions and we succeed in doing that. Today, by the way, head coach of the Russian national team Tatiana Sergaeva was at our event, and I assure you that she also saw plenty of little stars, with whom she would like to work. But all of them, certainly, should get into the Russian national team and we will create all the conditions for these children to join it," the Olympic champion said.</blockquote>The International Alina-2025 Children's Charity Rhythmic Gymnastics Festival was held on April 18 at the Martial Arts Academy.

Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics Nikita Nagorny explained what the Alina 2025 Festival means for him and compared it and the performance at major competitions:&nbsp;<blockquote>"Performing at the show evokes special emotions and feelings. It is important for us that we can inspire and convey those emotions that are impossible to get from competitions with the help of a creative program, script, team, and decorations."</blockquote>He also revealed the idea of the routine where he takes part:&nbsp;<blockquote>"Our performance is about the fact that even when there were military actions, when the Great Patriotic War was going on, sports still continued. We personify sports through this performance and show that there are no barriers that can stop the sports life of each person. We have devoted quite a lot of time to big-time sports, the skills we have developed are in us forever. And sometimes you want to show them. For us, the show is an opportunity to re-experience the emotions we experienced on the big international stage. This is a large number of spectators, this is the meaning of the number and the emotions we convey and receive."</blockquote>

Choreographer and stage director Eldar Saifutdinov explained the distinctive features of the Alina 2025 Festival:&nbsp;<blockquote>"The dramaturgy is absolutely unprecedented. This is not just the 80th victory anniversary. This is the memory of children who sacrificed themselves, who risked immeasurably. And, of course, this is reflected in the festival and in the hearts of the audience. It is impossible to be indifferent to this."</blockquote>He shared the details of working on the routines with artists from different cities:&nbsp;<blockquote>"There were Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Sochi, many, many cities within the framework of this festival. And we did not have time to go everywhere, and our friends, for example, in Chelyabinsk staged performances for Nizhny Tagil, we, being in Yekaterinburg, staged episodes for Murmansk. In general, the whole country choreographed this festival. If we are not only talking about Russia, we went to our friends in Kyrgyzstan."</blockquote>The choreographer and stage director also spoke about new trends of this year:<blockquote>"Contemporary music is predominant this year, despite the fact that there are, of course, the immortal ‘Victory Day’ and several other compositions, but there is a lot of contemporary music. And the approach to modern times is reflected not only in the music, but also in the invited artists. In addition to rhythmic gymnastics, we have stunt performers, we have guys from parallel gymnastics directions — artistic gymnastics, acrobatics, aerial gymnastics."</blockquote>The Alina 2025 Festival will be held on April 18 in the Martial Arts Academy.

Evgeniya Finkelstein worked as a judge at the All-Russian Sky Grace Cup competition at the Academy.After the competition, the specialist noted how well prepared the participants were.<blockquote>"The gymnasts are very strong, actually the whole Russian national team was present here. The struggle was very intense. We saw today in group exercises how the girls struggled, we did not know who would win until the very end. Same in the individuals," she said.</blockquote>She also shared her impressions of working with her colleagues, the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association judges.<blockquote>"I supervised the artistry panel here. I was called as an independent judge. Sky Grace judges are very well prepared exactly in the artistry panel. They learned the rules very well, judged very well, and therefore we have almost no differences during this competition," the judge said.</blockquote>Evgeniya noted an interesting detail in the International Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs Association judges rules.<blockquote>"There is a moment I like so much. In the execution panel here, if you catch the ball with two hands, the penalty is 0.3. The penalty is 0.1 under the FIG program. This is a great upside indeed and the gymnasts endeavor to catch by one hand or generally without support and without the visible contact, without hands overall," she added.</blockquote>The All-Russian Sky Grace Cup competition was held from April 10 to 14 in Sirius.

We reviewed mistakes, made some changes in the program. We added a combined triple element from FIG rules to all four types."</blockquote>She noted that gymnasts support each other outside the floor:<blockquote>"The competitors on the floor only, during competitions. And all the gymnasts actually keep company with each other. We support each other."</blockquote>Arina Rekvava from Moscow told how he had changed the program for the competition in Sirius and also highlighted the gymnasts she remembered:&nbsp;<blockquote>"We added an element and also added a combined one, and we changed some skills. I spin very well when doing the sideward pivot and the fouetté. The score can also very high in the artistic component if performing so artistically indeed, with accents. I mainly watched Masha Borisova and Veronika Malinina also. They are so pretty, agile."</blockquote>Rhythmic gymnastics helped her to make friends with other athletes, the gymnast also noted:<blockquote>"I came and we immediately became very good friends. We support each other greatly."</blockquote>Varvara Baranova and Arina Rekvava perform among candidate masters of sports at the All-Russian Sky Grace Cup competition.
