The strongest athletes are indeed present in Russia and in Belarus. And there is a very strong desire to see them on one floor together. We saw many picturesque, memorable performances. And each of them shows in her distinct way something new, cool and stylish.I want so much that all the favorites managed to do everything they designed. And we enjoyed the beautiful performance.

Because it is always very interesting to see among the strongest, how they will cope with their emotions, how they will show their program, therefore, I think that it will be very intriguing, interesting for the public, and for the judges, and for the coaches. Well, and, of course, for the athletes themselves, for the gymnasts."</blockquote>The specialist also noted the level of Russian gymnasts, as well as the progress of the Academy gymnasts:<blockquote>"We always love coming to Moscow. We love competing with gymnasts, because Russia is the strongest country in rhythmic gymnastics. So we compete, see who has become better, who has added something, who has some interesting moments in the exercise. That is why we always prepare very well, we are happy to see all our friends and participate in these events. We have had many performances together with Sky Grace. We came to Omsk for Evgeniya Kanaeva's competitions, and Sky Grace came to us for Crystal Rose, and there were competitions before that. Therefore, as a coach, I also observe how your team gets better with each competition, how the girls progress, how they gain experience. Therefore, it is probably important for each team to show their experience from competition to competition and eventually become such seasoned gymnasts."</blockquote>International competitions are held in Moscow from August 20 to 22.

Belarusian gymnastics has always been distinguished by its elegance and uniqueness, I repeat myself, by the work with the apparatus, grace. And the girls have always had very interesting and unusual programs that differed from all other countries. And now this is only increasing and bearing fruit even more. Because there is a very big emphasis now on artistry and Belarusian gymnastics is the one that shows and demonstrates this very well."</blockquote>Daria also spoke about the favorite programs of the Russian and Belarusian team leaders:<blockquote>"Anastasia Salos — hoop, Alina Harnasko — ball, Mariia Borisova — ball and Ulyana Janus — clubs. These are the very programs that can be watched, in my opinion, endlessly."</blockquote>

Gymnasts from India have come to the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy for a training camp. They are accompanied by their coach Pooja Surve.The specialist from India shared her impressions after the first classes.<blockquote>"At the Sky Grace, the atmosphere is really very, very nice and we feel homely as well as it is so interesting to see all the players and the coaches coming here and training the gymnasts. It is really the spirit of competition and sportsmanship is highly seen here. Their work with the apparatus is very complicated. So whenever we see them, we are fascinated by their exercises. And I really like working with all the coaches here. After the first training sessions, we lacked technique. But the coaches here try to help us so that we can improve, and the girls try to learn from them. So I am very happy with all the training sessions that take place here," the coach said.</blockquote>Accommodations for Avani and Aryaa Nitesh Kadam, Kimaya Karle and Pooja Surve have been provided by the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy.

Judge Anna Kurbanova told how control trainings are held in Novogorsk:<blockquote>"Girls are preparing for the Cup of the Strongest between Russia and Belarus. We already had two assessment training sessions for the juniors. And the difference between the first and the second assessment training sessions is enormous. All the girls have improved greatly in their skills and corrected the mistakes we pointed out to them during the first assessment training session. And I think we're going to have the best start."</blockquote>The coaches and judges paid athletes' attention to the character during the performance of the program. The specialist explained what is meant by this concept:<blockquote>"The character of the exercise means that every movement in the gymnast's routine must be aligned by the character with the music. In other words, there should not be a single merely empty movement, a usual step or any hand movement that does not correspond to the music."</blockquote>The international Cup of the Strongest Athletes of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus will be held in Moscow from August 18 to 23.
