Gymnast Ilya Zaika spoke about the preparation of a new element on the rings

Russian gymnast Ilya Zaika, after whom the new element on the rings was named, shared his emotions with "Izvestia" on September 26.

The athlete said that he was glad to have a successful debut. According to him, the preparation for its execution took about a year.

"I am very pleased with the work and the quality of the element. <...> It was not the best attempt, but the element was counted, and I am very pleased," said Stutterer.

Another of our gymnasts, Arseny Dukhno, won silver at the European Championships.

The Russian athlete performed a new element of ring gymnastics — lifting by force with straight arms from hanging upside down into a cross upside down — at the FIG World Challenge Cup in Paris. According to the rules, he was given the name of the first person to represent the element in official competitions.

In turn, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the new nominal element of Stuttering, noted that Russian athletes invent and win, no matter what.
