russian gymnast Lala Kramarenko admitted to that she has been following figure skating for a long time, where she enjoys special sympathy Kamila Valieva .
Kramarenko won the clubs exercise at the Crystal Rose rhythmic gymnastics tournament in Minsk. In addition, she won the ribbon exercise.
How important is this tournament to you? There are few international competitions now.
– In fact, in the context of this situation, I am very happy that we had the opportunity to come here, to Belarus, and play here. As Irina Alexandrovna says [Винер], the strongest teams are Russia and Belarus, we compete against each other. Therefore, I am very happy that we played here. Everything didn’t go very well… We’re going to work and, I hope, we’ll fix everything during the next competitions.
The finals of some events went quite well, I’m not happy to have lost in the ball. There was such an unfortunate mistake, because I started twisting the turn and the ball just rolled. And everything else is very same nothing.
Was it difficult to achieve? It seemed from the outside that our team was not in top form.
– Well, it’s hard everywhere… We haven’t had international competitions for a long time. But I don’t think we did wrong. The girls played great I think – Dina and Arina. I think Irina Alexandrovna is happy with us.
– In Minsk, you competed according to FIG rules. Tell me, is it difficult to switch from Russian rules to these?
– The Russian rules are more complicated than the FIG rules. From the Russians to these it is easier, but from the FIG to ours it is more difficult. Therefore, it was probably easier to play here than at the Cup of the strongest. Because there the program was “Russian”.
It fully reveals rhythmic gymnastics, there are a lot of elements, there is freedom of choice. You show what you can and don’t lock yourself into a box.
– Tell me, how did the idea to put an exercise with clubs under Tarkan come about, who suggested it? It’s usually one of the brightest programs of the season.
“It all started with demonstration performances. On New Year’s Eve, Irina Alexandrovna made demonstrative Christmas trees, I played there to this purposeless music. She really liked it, in the end she decided to do an exercise with masses. It’s my favorite composition, the music.
Moreover, Irina Alexandrovna compiled this exercise, it is incredibly awesome, cool. I am very grateful to Irina Alexandrovna for devoting so much time to me and working with me. This is amazing.
– In the contest participants’ questionnaire, you indicated that you like figure skating.
Yes, I have been for a long time. I really like Kamila Valieva, Anna Shcherbakova, Alexandra Trusova. But above all, of course, Camila. I really like its skating, its plasticity, its softness! She was engaged in rhythmic gymnastics in childhood, and this, I believe, gave her a strong enough breakthrough to become such a brilliant athlete.
– As a gymnast, do you see some characteristics of rhythmic gymnastics in Camila’s skating?
– Sure! She has a very good stretch, plastic, soft hands. Everything is very visible. It’s great that such a girl also did rhythmic gymnastics.
In the spring, Russian and Belarusian representatives of all sports belonging to the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) were suspended from competition until further notice.
Mink’s tournament ended on July 24.
