“The transition to the FIG program was very easy because the rules are much simpler” – Wiener

President of the All-Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation (VFHG) Irina Viner said that the rules of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) are simpler than those of the WFHG, and also talked about the upcoming gala concert.

The 2024 Moscow Rhythmic Gymnastics Grand Prix was held from March 13 to 17 at the Irina Viner-Usmanova Gymnastics Palace.

– Today I am satisfied. We prepared the programs very seriously, we prepared new programs according to Russian rules. We’ve included all the elements that gymnasts can do, but do them without a single mistake. The transition to the FIG program was therefore very simple, because the rules are much simpler. But we also added exercises without objects to the program. Our girls were able to show endless beauty and expressiveness, endless beauty of hand movements. This is very, very important for rhythmic gymnastics. This is a consequence of rhythmic gymnastics becoming an Olympic sport. It is free control of the body. Isadora Duncan, who stood on her toes and made free movements with her body, is our ancestor.

I am very happy that 22 countries came and that they all carried out the exercise without object. The girls were very happy and happy. This uninhibited them and made them very free.

We have a conveyor belt of gala concerts. I thank the Moscow Department of Culture and everyone who helps us in the organization. The first thing I want to say is that we will have SHAMAN singing. We will have the participation of breakdance athletes, wushu athletes and our gymnasts. In the first part we will have Alexander Tikhonov, the most successful athlete in the world, singing. He will sing a song about the coaches and the youth team. Igor Kim, double Guinness Book record holder, will sing with us. We will have a new rhythmic gymnastics anthem, the lyrics of which were written by Larisa Rubalskaya. This was recorded for the 90th anniversary of rhythmic gymnastics, the 5th anniversary of this hall.

The most important holiday today is the end of the presidential election. The anthems that were sung today in large numbers were dedicated to the election of the president, who will be the most important, best, most correct person who will lead our country to peace, happiness and prosperity” , reports the correspondent. Wiener’s words.
