let down our coaches, family and friends.

come to rhythmic gymnastics?

It is clear that we came together to the sport (laughs). Our mom brought us to
gymnastics and, after her, our older sister Polina. We always liked the sport
and we just went for it. But Polina didn't go to the sport itself, she chose to
study after graduating from school with a gold medal.

attention to us.

We started to do gymnastics with four years old and when we were 12 years old,
we arrived in Moscow. We invited Vera Shatalina. We worked out in Novogorske -
and we are so pleased that we have even more love for this sport.

At first it was very hard, because we were very small when we left home.

always acted together?

I think we were lucky. Because if Arisha is on the first place - I'm always
happy for her as for myself.

to the podium, and I was fourth or fifth - but I was glad for her.
