Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva visited the National group exercise team's training camp, which has kicked off in St. Petersburg. She congratulated Emanuela Maccarani on officially assuming the role of the Russian national team’s Head coach. She also encouraged the gymnasts to work with precision, grace, and emotion, and, above all, with a love for their craft.

The program will feature gymnasts of the Russian national team, 2021 European team champion Lala Kramarenko, dancer Ildar Gainutdinov, and an orchestra conducted by People's Artist of Russia Valery Gergiev.

After a rehearsal for the Alina festival in Novogorsk, Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva spoke with the participants.

Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva suggested replacing a boomerang with a fouetté for Veronika Malinina from St. Petersburg — an element the gymnast performs particularly well. She also went over the piece performed by Sofia Ilteryakova from Moscow. Let's see how the production highlights the strengths of each gymnast!
