Why should a gymnast bring something new even to a well-practiced routine? This is precisely the question discussed by Olympic champion, gymnast Mariia Borisova from St. Petersburg and her coach, Irina Gusarova. Alina Kabaeva advised Masha to rewatch Maya Plisetskaya's performance to Bolero for inspiration. Masha's ribbon routine is choreographed to music from Bolero.
