The Russian flywheel of rhythmic gymnastics is starting to spin . The second major tournament of this season, which was the Grand Prix in French Thiers, confirms this. Gymnasts traditionally changed all their programs, but the Russians invariably won almost everywhere – both in individual and group championships. The rivals were able to take medals only where the strongest gymnasts of the world made mistakes (I’m not afraid of this word – today it is so).
