- Olesya got to the finals of the Russian championship for the first time, took 6th place, Alexey was also close to getting to the Universiade. This is the result of our internal work at the Academy. We are very happy and proud for them. But we continue to strive for more. We will consider our task accomplished when we bring the Olympic gold to the Academy. In this regard, I would like to note that Grigory Tarasevich has been competing for the third season in the conditions of fierce competition with the Champions of the world and Europe (Evgeny Rylov and Clement Kolesnikov, approx. auth.) In such difficult conditions, showing the results of the top 5 of the world ranking and being close to getting to the world Cup, this time he was the third and will represent the Academy at the Universiade in Naples. Nikita Korolev after a series of injuries, I hope, will wrap itself and realize its rich potential. Ernest Maksumov is still driven by the goal of getting to the Olympics. I am sure that this desire will help him to show excellent results and realize his dream next season.
