Julia Efimova , Vladimir Morozov who trains in the United States, missed both summer starts in Russia – the Friendship Games and the Spartakiad of the strongest.
– Andrey Minakov planned to come to the Spartakiad and did. Yulia Efimova and Vladimir Morozov did not plan. Ignore this beginning and Anastasia Kirpichnikova (training in France – ed.).
