"I want a kind of a new leotard!"
13.08.2026. Before the World Championships, Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva noticed the leotards of Maria Borisova from St. Petersburg and suggested creating a new look for the gymnast ahead of the main competition of the season. A few weeks later, Masha is performing her ribbon routine at the World Championships in her brand new unitard.
Masha is a European Championship medalist. The gymnast is a member of the primary national team roster, lives and trains at the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy. Her coach is Irina Gusarova, and the choreographer is Ekaterina Belova.
