Asel Arapova and Coach Natalia Belugina came to the Academy to prepare for the Sky Grace Cup in Qatar

Coach and choreographer Natalia Belugina and gymnast from Kyrgyzstan Asel Arapova came to the Academy. They are preparing for the Sky Grace Cup international tournament that will be held in Qatar from November 20 to 22.

The professional told us about plans for training in Sirius.

"We came for a week. Asel and I have two new types: the ribbon and the hoop. And two other types also modified. That’s why preparations are so good. We made the elements more difficult, and the work with apparatus. We reeled up more risks, more skills. We made them more difficult and interesting."

Natalia also shared details of working with Academy students on new programs.

"Further to our workouts, I am also composing programs for the girls from the Academy. We composed the ball program for Anya Vakulenko today. Also a very beautiful one. The most important is that the girls like it. I always ask them, when we stage. ‘Do you enjoy it yourself? You should be delighted when doing the exercise.’ They answer, ‘Yes, we like.’ I say, ‘If you like to do it, then it will be cool for all the viewers, all the judges, for everyone’."
