The starting position is very significant (photo 1). As the music starts. Anya throws hoop and catches it after arch leap (0,3) in stag leap with back bent (TV 0,3). To finish leap combination Anya does stag leap with turn on 180 (TV 0,4). Then goes 2nd "flexibility" combination of penche tourlent and ring leap with turn on 180.
	After that she throws hoop again, does her wonderful 0,5 sissone leap with turn on 360, catches hoop and does stag leap with turn on 180 (back went). Then she does cossack leap with turn on 360 during the flight she does a roll of hoop on shoulder-arms (AV 0,1) and her wonderful pivot which is a rond of leg from attitude to alazgon (leg sideways at 90 degrees). Then she does super looking attitude with her supporting leg bent with rotating hoop and her hand (photo 2) and then goes next combination : stag leap (0,3) with roll of hoop (AV 0,2) , backscale pivot (0,4) while doing originality (AV 0,1) Ж : Front splits: back bend of the trunk and return during a 360 body rotation and rotation of the hoop on the vertical axis on the ankle. .
