Organizers of the FIG World Cup Final in Rhythmic Gymnastics have created excellent conditions for athletes in Baku, Elena Borisova, coach of Lebanese gymnast Alissa Sadek, told Trend July 20.

“We liked the people’s attitude very much. They meet and help everyone amiably,” said the coach. “The conditions created here are excellent.”

“We are participating in such a tournament for the first time. Sadek has no experience at large competitions and it is the first serious tournament for us,” said Borisova.

“We have great ambitions. We are just beginning to perform an adult program, therefore, we will do our best,” she added.

FIG World Cup Final in Rhythmic Gymnastics will take place in Azerbaijan’s capital Baku on July 22-24, giving a unique opportunity to see the performances of eminent gymnasts from 20 countries two weeks prior to the Rio Olympics.

Thirty-one gymnasts and 12 teams will compete for medals in the all-around on the first two days of competitions. Apparatus finals will be held on the event’s last day.

A magnificent opening ceremony, directed by the head coach of the Azerbaijani national team Mariana Vasileva, will be held on July 22, followed by the traditional Gala on July 24, as part of the FIG World Cup Final in Rhythmic Gymnastics in Baku.
