Yana Kudryavtseva, silver medalist in rhythmic gymnastics of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, shared her opinion on the new rules in gymnastics, which are valid only in Russia, in an interview with Sport24 correspondent Alena Volkova.
“I don’t understand the rules at all. Even when I was performing, I never filled the cards myself. Previously, they were – the order of the elements in the icons is indicated here. And I did not know any of them. My coach never understood how you can train and how much it would cost. Everyone wrote cards to himself, but I did nothing. I didn’t know. I graduated six years ago and still haven’t deepened. I saw how the girls now perform when the elements overlap. Personally, it would be very difficult for me by these rules, they are not for me. It seems to me that there will be more injuries, ”said Kudryavtseva.
