In Novogorsk, 1996 Olympic silver medalist Yana Batyrshina shared her expectations for the new season:<blockquote>"It's the most exciting time right now. All the programs have been written, and we're currently refining them. Many of the girls who were juniors have become seniors this year. I think the season will be very interesting. Especially since most of our girls have already received neutral status and are finally entering the international arena. So I'm really, really looking forward to seeing how they perform there. The start of the season isn't just a battle of nerves. It's also about who has prepared the best new programs. Considering, of course, how last season went, we're expecting Masha Borisova to be in just as great shape. We're expecting Lala Kramarenko, really looking forward to it, because we've all really missed her; she's got all these new programs. Sofia Ilteriakova, too. Karina Kireeva, who is also returning now."</blockquote>Yana also told who her favorites are and which programs from last season she has the most favorite:<blockquote>"I really like Masha's ribbon. Basically, all of Masha's programs. Eva Kononova, who also finished last season on a huge high. And I'm curious to see how she'll start this season. Arina Kovshova, Varya Toporova. I'm also counting on them and have faith in them. Sofia Ilteriakova, I'm thrilled with her ribbon. And, of course, Ulyana Yanus. A gymnast who went straight from junior to senior last year. I believe she'll excel this season, too."</blockquote>
