Natalia Belugina, the Alina Festival choreographer, has choreographed programs for many girls from Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy for this season, in particular Eva Kononova. After the Russian Championship, the specialist shared her impressions of Eva's performance:<blockquote>"I really liked it, especially the hoop routine. She has a Sherlock Holmes routine there, and she captured the image perfectly. New rules. Maybe more emotion is needed now, and Eva nailed it. I'm really happy she won the hoop."</blockquote>She also talked about the work on the production and the choice of musical composition for the program:<blockquote>"It's probably just that we already know what Eva can do, how she moves, what emotions she has. So, we listen to a lot of music and are like, 'Oh! This fits.' And it turned out that this music suited her very well."</blockquote>And she noted the positive character traits of Eva Kononova:<blockquote>"Eva works really hard. Even if, say, a coach watches another gymnast because she's performing to the music, Eva will do a lot, a lot, a lot herself. She doesn't need to be forced. And that's a really cool thing about an athlete. It's probably the best thing there is."</blockquote>

Thank you very much for preparations!"</blockquote>The gymnast shared how she works out difficult risks:<blockquote>"Many thanks to Elizaveta Markovna, Alina Maratovna, Evgenia Olegovna, and all the choreographers.

Happy 8th of March!

At the Russian Championships, Lidiya Ivanova, the two-time Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics team competitions, the two-time world champion, and the Honored Master of Sports of the USSR, shared her impressions of the performances and told what the secret of champions is:<blockquote>"In hellish toil. Even when I watch all the programs today, I think, my goodness, what lovely girls, how beautiful they are. Some stand out with even greater skills. We currently have Mariia Borisova. She's a real gem, but she's so nervous. This is a normal phenomenon. You know, when they call your name and you step out onto that big stage and have to show everything you've learned. Believe me, it's not just one person whose knees are shaking; everyone is nervous. But the athlete who manages also to overcome these internal struggles and demonstrate in full everything she is able to do at that moment is bound to succeed. Rhythmic gymnastics has taken the whole country — that's great. I am in favor of girls listening to music, knowing how to dance, and using their imagination. And skill is honed in sports halls endlessly, monotonously."</blockquote>She explained why the continuity of generations is important in gymnastics:<blockquote>"It's so important when they see such a master of their sport nearby. She'll show you the movement, so try to do it like she does. When you talk about charisma, charisma is probably different in that it is not the same for everyone; everyone has their own. But the movement, a certain playfulness, the position of the hand, foot, nose... I think they have a magical situation. This is important, and it's wonderful; it's a huge help."</blockquote>
