Ilina Sokolovska won gold in the Bundesliga
The Macedonian girl Ilina Sokolovska once again he achieved incredible success! At the start of the Bundesliga games, Ilina won gold and took her club to the top. The first place of her club Gutersloh-Bielefeld thanks to the points won by Ilina.
This is another success of our Ilina, who, although she has a Macedonian passport, still wins medals in Germany.
- A few days ago in the Bundesliga, my team, captained by Gutersloh-Bielefeld, had a match in Bremen for the first time, according to the new rules for judging in rhythmic gymnastics. The new rules are very strict, and they change after every Olympics. In this match, the referees judged according to the new rules. But that was not a problem for me, because I was preparing all the time according to the new rules. The series started with great success and that's why I'm so happy, Ilina told us and added:
- The competition in the Bundesliga is one of the strongest in Europe. The German women's national team competes in clubs in Germany, there are many successful gymnasts from other countries, here I mean the Italian national teams who compete for Bayern Leverkusen. In the League there are many gymnasts from Hungary, as well as a large number from Russia and Ukraine, who cannot compete in their countries because of the war. And it is known that their gymnastics is at a much higher level than other countries. But with persistent training, it was not a problem for me to win the most points. I brought almost 30 percent of the points for my club myself, it was just my day. However, this is my third time competing as a team in the finals and we lose, but I hope that next year if a good gymnast from the elite joins us, we will also be on the winning ladder, said Ilina, who competed with ribbon, hoop and ball, and as usual, her choreography was with a Macedonian song.
This is how the results look when training is done in an average country, in contrast to Macedonia, where rhythmic gymnastics is on the margins.
Last month, Ilina and her sister Eva represented Macedonia for the second time at the Balkan Championship, which can rightly be said to be European, as not only countries from the Balkans participate, but also from the wider region.
- My sister and I represented Macedonia for the second time at the Balkan Championship. Our greatest desire is to perform under the Macedonian flag, even though our gymnastics is not at the level it should be. The Montenegrins accepted us as we deserved, as true professionals and are really organized by all standards. And if you ask me about rhythmic gymnastics in Macedonia, I'll just tell you - I'm sorry, but, unfortunately, we don't even have the letter G from gymnastics. As a representative of the FGSRM, I will freely say that we are far, far away in this sport and we can only learn from the neighboring countries. I hope that better days will come for our gymnastics and that this sport will really be thought of according to all norms and standards, as befits a country, said Ilina.
Ilina and her sister Eva, together with the FGSRM, will represent Macedonia in Luxembourg at the International Rhythmic Gymnastics Tournament, which will be held from 20-23 of this month, and in March next year they will leave for France, where they will attend another International Tournament, where they will also they represent Macedonia.
