Multiple world and European champions Arina and Dina Averini will show their new compositions for the first time during the charity show “Sports Christmas Tree”, which will be held in Moscow from January 4 to 8. This was announced by the President of the Russian Federation of Rhythmic Gymnastics and head coach of the national team Irina Wiener-Usmanova.
“Among the participants will be the Averini sisters, who will combine beauty with usefulness. For five days they will play their new compositions, which we have set for this year. They have to clear them to show them at the Grand Prix in Moscow in mid-February. I will strictly monitor the purity of the elements. Arina and Dina understand that they have to present themselves on the highest level. Because, as usual, we have to fight for a place under the sun”, said Irina Wiener-Usmanova, who is the organizer of the charity gala.
Tickets for the “Sports Christmas Tree” will be distributed free of charge to 14,000 disadvantaged children from orphanages and young athletes.
