Neli Borras, coach of Cuban gymnast Isabella Rojas, spoke about the difficulties with visas and tickets to Germany and Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva's assistance in resolving travel issues:<blockquote>"In the first instance, we ran into problems with getting our German visas. Initially, it was impossible to even book an appointment to submit our documents, and then the visa issuance itself took a very long time. In the end, we got lucky, the visas were issued on the exact same day, although with a major delay. Because of this, we were already missing our flight. Unfortunately, we missed the plane and couldn't take part in the competitions from day one as we had planned. After that, the president of our sports board immediately contacted Alina Kabaeva, the Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy, and they provided us with immense support. We are incredibly grateful to them: they helped us rebook the tickets and did everything possible so that we could get here. First and foremost, thanks to Alina Kabaeva. I feel like it all started back in 2021. Back then, I had gymnasts Gretel Mendoza and Isabella Rojas.&nbsp; Once, at a Sky Grace competition, during the Academy's second tournament, Alina told me that she would support us and that we could count on her help. And she truly kept her word. From the very first moment, she has always stayed updated on how we are doing."</blockquote>The expert shared her impressions of Russian athletes returning to major international competitions:<blockquote>"It seems to me that Russian gymnasts, despite being away from international competitions for a long time due to the situation in our sport, are now gradually returning to the international arena and once again demonstrating their high level of skill and quality of work. The Russian school of rhythmic gymnastics cannot be canceled. Their actual technique is different, from the way they interpret the music to how they build their compositions. Their programs are generally perceived in a different way. They have a different understanding of rhythmic gymnastics. They have a massive amount of experience behind them. One could say that the Russian school largely shaped rhythmic gymnastics into what it is today. The Russian girls are just different. It feels like they are gymnasts from birth — it is as if it is hardwired into their bodies. All the athletes are currently fighting for Olympic quotas — the first Olympic spots are being contested at this championship. I think that the Russian gymnasts will also be able to secure their quotas. The competition here is incredibly fierce. Everyone is under a lot of pressure and very tense — one can really see it. Everyone is trying to give their best performance."</blockquote>Isabella did not compete on the first day of the World Championships due to visa and flight issues. The International Sky Grace Association covered her travel expenses and helped her travel to Germany.

Isabella Rojas from Cuba spoke about the preparations for the World Championships:<blockquote>"First of all, I want to mention the financial support we received from the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy. We didn't expect to encounter visa issues, and even after we missed our flight, they continued to help us. I am very grateful to them. Thanks to their support, I was able to come to this championship. This is my second World Championship. I also competed in World Cups and many competitions organized by Sky Grace. So, I am truly grateful to them."</blockquote>She thanked Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva and the specialists at the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy for their comprehensive help:<blockquote>"First and foremost, I want to thank Alina Kabaeva and the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy for all their support and for believing in me. They've supported me since I first arrived there in 2023. Thanks to them, I'm where I am today. I've grown so much as a gymnast, achieved so much, and, frankly, I'm incredibly proud of it. It's hard for me to even find the words to describe how happy I am and how much it means to me to be able to compete and feel this support. I also want to thank all the coaches who helped me in Russia and the choreographers who helped prepare me. They helped me improve, made my programs more challenging, and taught me new things. Thank you all."</blockquote>The gymnast shared what she learned during her training at the Academy:<blockquote>"When I first came to the Academy, I was just moving up a category and didn't know much yet. They really helped me improve the cleanliness of my routines. We worked a lot on my legs: toe point, relevé work. This is one of the hallmarks of Russian gymnasts. In addition to their flexibility and beauty, they have excellent footwork, and everything is executed very cleanly and accurately. I also learned a lot about working with DB and risks. Overall, I gained a lot of new knowledge and met some wonderful people."&nbsp;</blockquote>Isabella also praised the performances of the Russian gymnasts:<blockquote>"I'm watching the competitions, and honestly, I really like Maria Borisova and Sofia Ilteryakova. There are many other gymnasts I like, too.The Russian gymnasts perform very well and very beautifully. It's truly impressive. For me, Russian rhythmic gymnastics is, above all, elegance and perfection. They do an amazing job. I really wanted to see Arina Kovshova, but I couldn't. It was a great honor for me to train at the Academy and have the opportunity to see Russian gymnasts in action, directly during training. It was incredibly rewarding and allowed me to learn so much."</blockquote>Isabella missed the first day of the World Championships due to visa and flight issues. The Sky Grace International Association covered her travel expenses and helped the gymnast to arrive in Germany.
