At the Alina Kabaeva Grand Prix Champions Cup, Eva Kononova from the Tyumen Region won the all-around title, as well as gold medals with the hoop and ribbon, and silver with clubs.After the award ceremony, Eva shared her impressions of the competition in St. Petersburg:<blockquote>"The emotions are only positive. As I already said, every time I go out there, I can't believe they are putting a medal on me. But we work so much for this to happen. I was looking at the stands because there were so many people there. Everyone came to cheer. For me, this is very valuable and incredibly pleasant. I just stood there and enjoyed those minutes."</blockquote>She noted her progress after moving to Sirius:<blockquote>"I think we have improved a lot in artistry and in cleanliness. Overall, I have started to be in time for more. In general, we work a lot, so progress is visible. What would I like to say to myself a year ago? You need to believe in yourself. And just as I love gymnastics, to continue loving it."</blockquote>The athlete also thanked Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva, the Academy team and all the coaches who helped her achieve such a result:<blockquote>"Alina Maratovna said: ‘Complete what you started, then you can relax. Then again, each type anew, from the beginning. The competitions don't end.’ Every word from Alina Maratovna is so valuable and important to me. I am incredibly happy when she tells me something. Evgenia Mikhailovna is a very warm-hearted person. She can talk to me or, on the contrary, just like that - uh... So we work very well together, and I really enjoy working with her. I love her very much. I want to thank very much Alina Maratovna, all the coaches who helped me: Evgenia Mikhailovna, Olga Dmitrievna, and my choreographer Lyudmila Alexandrovna. To all the fans - it means a lot to me. To our director, of course, Ekaterina Konstantinovna. To all the judges who assessed us. And I would like to thank all the choreographers who helped me, who staged such interesting programs. Thank you very much. I would like to appreciate all my coaches: the very first one - Irina Sergeevna, Lyubov Petrovna, and Vera Nikolaevna Shatalina, Ekaterina Valentinovna Pankova. Thank you so much!"</blockquote>

Natalia Usova from Uzbekistan became the bronze medalist of the Alina Kabaeva Grand Prix Champions Cup in the all-around. She shared her emotions about the result:<blockquote>"I am definitely happy because I didn't set myself any goals to be on the podium. I had a goal to go through all four types evenly for myself, to check myself and prove to myself that I can. I went out with the emotions, that I needed to show the beauty, I needed to show what we had worked on with the coach. &nbsp;My hoop routine is new. I play the role of a warrior there. My ball program is composed to the music of The Godfather famous series. Well, there, accordingly, everything is about this tragedy and these series. In the clubs, I have such fiery Spanish music, and I show a snake in the ribbon."</blockquote>The gymnast noted her friendship with participants from other countries:<blockquote>"Every time I come to competitions, we meet the girls with whom we have been friends for a very long time, and there is a feeling of support."</blockquote>The athlete also recalled a meeting with Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva, who helped her add several interesting elements to the rope exercise:<blockquote>"Alina Maratovna came to us to Uzbekistan in 2023. I remember this moment, I think, for the rest of my life. She came and showed me the skills with the rope, because then we were preparing for the Sky Grace and the rope was in the regulations. We inserted a couple of interesting things that Alina Maratovna showed."</blockquote>
