And I want to give more and more emotions on the mat!"</blockquote>Furthermore, Vladislava expressed gratitude to everyone who helped her:<blockquote>"To everyone at the Sky Grace International Association, thank you very much, the choreographers, directors, everyone who works with me: Elena Sivoraksha, Anna Dyachenko.

I really like to perform here. I am very glad that I perform for Sky Grace, that I train there. This is a great pride for me. This time I performed very well. The most important thing for me was that everything went smoothly, that the artistry was good. And I tried not to let it down. I almost got a clean circle, only the ribbon let me down. I performed well in all the other events. I really like the audience and the organizers here."</blockquote>She revealed details about workouts before the start and noted the progress:<blockquote>"My coach Evgeniya Eliseeva and I did two clean run-throughs every day, analyzed the parts, changed the exercises. In some exercises they inserted a turn into a loop and swapped the risks, complicated something a little. Very good progress, because the main thing for me is to perform well and cleanly, as I worked in training, no better and no worse, because you need to do as you had worked."</blockquote>The gymnast thanked the Academy team for their help in preparation:<blockquote>"I want to thank my entire Sky Grace Academy team, Alina Kabaeva, Evgeniya Eliseeva, Elena Egorova, Ekaterina Dyukova, our director, Olga Minigalina, who also helped, judged us.
