Vera Konopatskaya from Belarus shared her emotions after her performance in the Cup of the Strongest final:<blockquote>"Everything went very well for me. I’m very pleased with my performances. Everything that was planned basically worked out. And the main thing is that the coach is happy. She praised me, gave me a big hug, and said that everything is fine and that we’ll keep working and making the programs more challenging."</blockquote>The gymnast revealed the features of her programs:<blockquote>"In the hoop exercise do Latin, tango, and something unusual. The music is a mix of styles: there’s a slow part and a fast part. I really like this look; it helps me feel more free. With the ball, I have a very gentle routine&nbsp;—&nbsp;calm, so restrained. With the clubs, I’m flirtatious. I do everything at speed&nbsp;—&nbsp;fast, interesting. And my ribbon routine is tough, strict; I love it a lot, and in it I really relax and give my all."</blockquote>Vera talked about the challenges and the work on her artistry during the preparation for the competition:<blockquote>"The preparation was intense. We worked a lot, made things more difficult, changed some things, and added more artistry. They changed the fouetté in my program. Now I’m doing it with a bent leg. I like it better and I’m better at it. We made the risks more challenging, added more rotational movements."</blockquote>The athlete also shared her plans for the near future — the show "Limits of the Impossible" will soon take place in Minsk:<blockquote>"I’ll be participating in it too. It will take place at the Minsk Arena. We’re preparing for it very actively, and we’re already eager to show what we’ve got. I won’t reveal all the secrets, but keep an eye on it&nbsp;—&nbsp;it’s going to be awesome."</blockquote>At the tournament, the gymnast showed the fourth‑best result in the all‑around competition.
