The tournament is considered one of the most prestigious in the world, and one of its founders is the current FIG President Morinari Watanabe. Teams consist of three gymnasts (two seniors and one junior). All teams represent a club. The four best teams from last year’s tournament (Burlo/Pacific (USA), Deryugina School (Ukraine), Societa Gimnastica Fabriano (Italy), MTK Budapest (Hungary) and one team from the host country – Angel RG Kagawa Nichichu) are exempt from qualifying and competed directly in the final. It should be noted that within the framework of the official FIG competitions, Russian gymnasts competed for the first time in recent years at the international level in a neutral status ( AN2), immediately taking second place in the team competition ( seniors Maria Borisova, Ulyana Yanus, juniors Kenia Savinova). All athletes are partners of the International Association “Sky Grace”. Incidentally, the president of Heavenly Grace, Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva, won this tournament five times in the senior category and twice in the junior category.

 

It is also noteworthy that Austrian gymnasts Arina and Dina attended a joint training camp for the tournament together with the bronze medallists from the Burlo/Pacific club (Rin Kiz also won silver in the individual all-around competition for seniors). Despite the absence of a judge from their country this time, the Mironskaya  sisters improved their individual results and shared 20th place among 29 participants from the world’s best teams. Austria, as last year, was represented by the oldest Austrian club, ASVO-TV Wien-Mariehilf. Arina and Dina Mironskaya  are the winners of the 2025 Austrian National Club Champions
