The champion of the Russian Cup in 2025, Mariia Borisova, summed up the results of the start in Kazan:<blockquote>"Everything didn't go that well at this tournament. We need to thoroughly analyze why this happened, and perhaps find a new approach to competitive preparation right before the competition, to ensure our performances are flawless, even the smallest ones. Irina Nikolaevna and Alina Maratovna urged me to focus on everything, especially on the second day. They wanted me to do everything the same way I did on the floor. That is, everything had already been practiced. You need to be able to concentrate for those ninety minutes, for the performance."</blockquote>This was the last time the gymnast performed with the clubs program of this season at this tournament. She shared the mood with which she went out on the carpet:<blockquote>"I entered the program with the intention of enjoying it one last time, feeling it again. Right down to my fingertips. This is probably my first such powerful, adult program. So I'm glad I had it. But now there will be another one, just as good."</blockquote>In addition, Masha shared her plans for the New Year holidays:<blockquote>"Now the plan is to create new programs, we'll go on New Year's holidays, I'll go home to my family, I'll be with all my relatives, and then we'll start working on new programs and also preparing for the Russian Championship."</blockquote>The athlete thanked everyone who helped her this year:<blockquote>"I want to thank Irina Nikolaevna, Alina Maratovna, and everyone who was there this year and helped me. In fact, the entire large team, Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy. I also want to thank the judges and the fans. Thank you so much for always being there and supporting me. I love you all. Have a great year!"</blockquote>At the Russian Cup, a gymnast from St. Petersburg became the all-around champion. Her coach is Irina Gusarova, and her choreographer is Elena Egorova.
