Arguably
a marvelous routine created by
Irina Deruigina and Anna Bessonova. Anna makes this really difficult
routine with easiness amazingly. There are lots of various high leaps.
The work with apparatus is very good. Spectators love this routine and
because of dynamic music. Combining fast and slow elements with fast
and slow music is perfect. Each music element is with interesting and
original elements.
Starting
position of this routine is very interesting: Anna stands in
vertical spagat and put the ribbon on the toes of her right leg (the
one which is up) and keeps this position. When the music starts,
Bessonova puts her right leg with ribbon down. Next element is very
original. Ending of the ribbon , ties around Anna's right leg and the
left one steps on the apparatus, the stick of the apparatus hangs in
the air. Bessonova pulls the middle of the ribbon and the
stick comes
to her hands. In the same elements Ukrainian gymnasts frees
legs from apparatus and continues routine.
Anna
stands in vertical spagat. turns around the axis and in the same time
twirls the ribbon in weird ways. After that
Anna leaps from the middle leaps are incredible high. In the corner
Bessonova twirls the ribbon around the body once and makes a nice
snake-twist (?) and runs to another place of the floor. While this
cross, Anna doesn't forget about apparatus, she twirls the ribbon
around her body, walks through it. On the way, Bessonova
stops for a while, twirls the ribbon and in the same moment stands in
vertical spagat.
Then Anna leaps to
the middle of the carpet, where she does nice pirouettes. Then
Bessonova moves the ribbon from one hand to another and throws it (the
ending is hold in the hand) , sits
on knees and in that position catches apparatus. (photo 6) After
that throw, Anna moves by doing different leaps, twirls the ribbon, to
the left corner. There she twirls a ribbon around herself and
does a snake-twist (?) twice.
Then Anna throws the
ribbon up, stands in vertical spagat and when she is changing the
position back to normal, Bessonova catches the ribbon. Anna does a
forward roll , quickly stands up . Till this throw the music was quiet
and gentle, after it the music changes to loud and nervous. But
the changing goes smooth. The first element under loud music is a catch
the ending of the ribbon, Bessonova pulls the apparatus and catches
the stick.
Then a gymnast takes a
little rest by going on the floor, twirling ribbon around. After some
moment Anya throws the ribbon straightly up and easily catches it after
doing 2 illusions. Then Bessonova leaps diagonally to another corner.
There she throws the ribbon, holding the end of it. The
apparatus goes backwards, but Bessonova in the leap strongly moves it
forwards), stands
on her knees, moves the head down and finishes the routine, under sounds
of electro guitar.
