Opening the gala concert is a great honor — and a great responsibility
The gymnasts’ movements are as synchronized as the equipment allows
Those seconds of free fall earn well‑deserved applause
Let’s welcome Valeria Zhigalina in her tiger‑cub costume!
The young, playful “predator” isn’t afraid of heights at all…
…and she’s enjoying every moment of her striped performance
Next, the same Krasnoyarsk studio “Up” presents a diabolo act
Two sticks, a string, and a specially shaped spool create endless trick combinations
Diabolo originates from Ancient China, but the technique keeps evolving to this day
Yesenia Smogorzhevskaya trains at the “Likodemia” studio in Omsk
At times, it looks like she’s creating a glowing halo around herself
Undoubtedly, this solo act is a real highlight of the program
A bird with a brave heart has managed to break free from the net
Good balancing skills are just as important in this genre
A skillful blend of artistry and physical training is a key to success at competitions
But the focus remains on her solo performance
Still, this miniature fairy‑tale heroine pulls off even the most difficult moves
This is how the explosive energy of rock gets amplified by the aerial element
The ring makes a wide range of spectacular gymnastic sequences possible
The lyrical nature of the story is highlighted by both the lighting and the emotions
The flight ends with a one‑heel hang — a top‑tier element
Now, Ivan Savchenko from Omsk is about to prove that looks can be deceiving
The act is full of youthful vigor
Need we even mention that the performer also has flawless control over his body?
Beneath the outward calm lies a rich spectrum of inner feelings
The technical moves — like the neck hang — are just as complex as the heroine’s character
In Anna Karenina, weakness and nobility, the desire for happiness and the sense of duty are locked in conflict
Awards are presented by age groups
It’s the brilliant Ulyana Isaeva, whose beautiful Anna Karenina stayed in everyone’s memory
The medals definitely deserve some commemorative photos
