Ulyana Janus, along with her coach Marina Drozd, prepared for the AEON Cup World Club Championships at the Academy.The coach discussed how the gymnast handled the competition mentally and what she still needs to work on.<blockquote>"This competition was very exciting because it was our first trip. We prepared for it for a very long time, but diligently. We went through a number of competitions and trained for a week at the Academy, for which we are extremely grateful. And overall, looking at the entire tournament, I'm pleased with its mental state. It took place without any major mistakes. We saw new gymnasts. So now we'll work even harder. And this competition gave us such a great boost and impetus for further work, a very powerful emotional and professional one. It was very nice to see gymnasts from different countries who had already competed at the international level. And when our gymnasts finally saw them on the same floor, whereas before that we'd only seen them on TV, it was a real motivation for them," she said.</blockquote>The coach also shared her impressions of the competition atmosphere.<blockquote>"It was very nice. Such a friendly, homely atmosphere, and many gymnasts approached our athletes. We were happy that they had already come to an international competition, to an FIG competition. Many coaches came to the event. So we felt very comfortable here," Marina said.</blockquote>&nbsp;All Russian gymnasts who competed in Tokyo are partners of the Sky Grace International Association and competed under neutral status.&nbsp;
