Her precise technique, combined with artistic expression and exceptional body control, earned her a well-deserved victory. This marks another important milestone in the young athlete’s already impressive career.
Experienced Coach and International Successes
For several years, Maslov has been under the guidance of renowned coach Irina Lortkipanidze, who has played a crucial role in her success. Lortkipanidze, a former elite gymnast herself, has a keen eye for talent and has nurtured Maslov not only technically but also mentally. Olivia is an extraordinary athlete who constantly pushes her limits. Her ambition and passion for the sport are unmatched,” said Lortkipanidze after the competition.
In addition to her national achievements, Maslov has also enjoyed numerous successes at international competitions.

Her results and podium finishes at these prestigious events have solidified her reputation as one of the rising stars in European and international rhythmic gymnastics.
Olympic Ambition: Los Angeles 2028
While the national title is a significant achievement for Maslov, her long-term goal is clear: to compete at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. “The Olympics are every athlete’s dream,” Maslov said after her triumph in Warsaw. “I know the road ahead is long and tough, but with my team and the support of my family, I firmly believe I can make it.”
Her training regimen will become even more intense in the coming years as she prepares for this ambitious goal. In close collaboration with her coach, Maslov will continue to compete in international events and establish herself among the world’s elite. “We have a clear plan,” Lortkipanidze explained. “Olivia is still young and constantly evolving. If she continues on this path, she will play a key role in Los Angeles 2028.”
