Few major changes.
“What we want to enhance is more elegance in the movement.
Elegance is not only about the choreography or the artistry, it is also present in the way gymnasts perform. This is the plus that everybody enjoys, this is the difference that creates emotion for those who watch the performance,” said the TC President.
