Video about Rhythmic Gymnastics Training Center
Rhythmic Gymnastics Training Center “ISCA” is located in Russia. Its purpose is to promote Rhythmic Gymnastics. A hundred of gymnasts are currently training here. Olympic Champions used to train over here such as Anastasiya Nazarenko or Karolina Sevastyanova.
Daria Dmitrieva or Yana Lukonina (Honored Master of Sports, World Champions), are also working here as coaches. Also Anna Viktorovna Zhitkova is helping as a ballet coach.

Emotions in Rhythmic Gymnastics
Rhythmic Gymnastics is more than a sport. Is an art that combines technical movements with expression and handling of an apparatus. This new code includes dancing steps and artistic more than the previous codes.
Anna Bessonova
Anna Bessonova was one of the most emotional gymnast and so that one of the most popular for the audience. She could perform both an elegant routine (Swan Lake) or a modern one (The Matrix).

Who is going to retire from gymnastics this year?
After World Championships that were held in Kiev, a few gymnasts decide to stop doing gymnastics.
Alina Maksymenko, from Ukraine, decided to become a coach. “After World Championships, I will help in Deriugina school as a coach” – said Alina.
“I will continue training, in fact I will compete until the end of the year. After this, I am not very sure yet, but probably I may only compete in national competitions. I would also like to help little gymnasts to become rhythmic gymnastics stars”.

Spain: Golden Girls
Spain made history. The arena was packed. Spanish audience was cheeting almost whole. A happy atmosphere lingered in the air.
It was such a magic moment. The tension was there.
You could see a mix of Spanish and Portuguese flags everywhere. It was such a magic moment. The tension was there. Parents, friends, fans, waiting for their team. Spain got 4th position the day aftr, with 10 clubs exercise. They needed more than 17.250 to reach the first place. And then, the dream came true. They scored 17.300 enough for gold. Congratulations.
Alejandra Quereda y Sandra Aguilar

Fue un momento mágico, lleno de ilusión y esperanza. Familiares, amigos, fans, todos esperando la actuación del equipo español. Ellas actuaba en último lugar.
Épico e histórico. Hacía años que España no conseguía este soñado puesto
En la jornada anterior, obtuvieron una 4º posición con el ejercicio de 10 mazas. Necesitaban 17.250 al menos, en el ejercicio mixto, para conseguir un primer puesto. Y así fue. España obtuvo 17.300, lo que hizo que se proclamaran Campeonas de la Copa del Mundo. Épico e histórico. Hacía años que España no conseguía este soñado puesto. Al fin, el sueño se cumplió. Enhorabuena.

Azerbaijan has two very good individuals these season: Marina Durunda and Lala Yusifova. Lala performed a great ball routine.
Caroline Webber was one of the last gymnasts that performed today besides Verónica Bertolini and Neta Rivkin. Neta is very fit.
El equipo ruso era hoy una de las grandes expectaciones de la jornada. Todo el equipo estuvo en Thiais. En individuales: Margarita Mamun, Darya Svatkovskaya, Maria Titova y Alexandra Merkulova. Conjunto: Anastasiya Nazarenko, Anastasiya Maximova, Olga Ilina, Alina Makarenko y Kseniya Dudkina. Anastasiya Bliznyuk está lesionada.
Alina Makarenko está semi lesionada, por ello no realizó muchos elementos de flexibilidad y giros durante los entrenamientos.
Hoy no fue el mejor día para Maria Titova, la cual salió triste de la sala de calentamiento tras fallar repetidamente en el ejercicio de aro.

Las entrenadoras que estaban allí eran: Dinara Gimatova, Natalia Lipkovskaya, AminaZaripova, Lyudmila Dmitrova y Oksana Skaldina. Oleg Naumov (fotógrafo) e Irina Zenovka (coreógrafa) se encontraban allí asímismo.
Irina Viner acudió también a Thiais y fue la encargada de dirigir todos los entrenamientos de su equipo.
Ucrania tiene una nueva componente en el conjunto: Viktoria Shynkarenko. Viktoria sólo actúa en el ejercicio mixto de 3 pelotas y 2 cintas. Todo el equipo ucraniano vestía una camiseta color rosa flúor. La madre de Anna Bessonova, estaba también en los entrenamientos como asistente. Viktoriya Mazur no paró de sonreír en todo momento. Por otra parte, Alina Maksymenko llevaba un vendaje protector en uno de sus tobillos y tuvo dificultades en el ejercicio de cinta.
Como se había anunciado en rhythmic-gymnastics.info, España tiene dos nuevas componentes en el conjunto: Artemi Gavezou Castro (10 mazas) y Marina Fernández Moreno (ejercicio mixto). Todas las españolas iban uniformadas con una camiseta en donde estaba grabado su nombre y calentadores rojos. Loreto Achaerandio, pese a estar recuperándose de una cirugía, acudió pero sin actuar. El conjunto español estaba muy seguro de sí mismo y son unas de las candidatas para el podium. Como es tradición, uno de los ejercicios tiene música española, esta vez el elegido ha sido el ejercicio de 10 mazas.
