And it seems to me that our strategy worked, as we trained right in a hall with a low ceiling. And I changed the program a bit, so I hope everything worked out," she said.&nbsp;</blockquote>Oksana also thanked the Sky Grace International Association for the opportunity to participate in the competition.&nbsp;<blockquote>"For Eva and me, this is the first experience of this kind. It is very important. And to be honest, we didn't expect it, and everything turned out this way! And the most important thing is that we didn't let anyone down and performed decently. That was the main goal! We appreciate the Sky Grace International Association and Alina Maratovna for believing in us, inviting us, and I hope we didn't let them down," the coach said.&nbsp;</blockquote>
