One year after competing at Commonwealth Games, Australian leading rhythmic gymnast Alexandra Kiroi-Bogatyreva was ready to commence her first half of the new season.
With three World Cups and Australian Gymnastics Championship it was going to be a very busy itinerary with a lot to prove.
Kiroi-Bogatyreva's first destination on the World Cup tour landed her in Sofia, Bulgaria.
A place where only seven months ago the 16-year-old made her World Championship debut and the location brought a lot of good memories and set the mood for a great competition. The second destination in the World Cup series was Uzbekistan and third was Azerbaijan.
