Azerbaijani gymnast: Moral readiness necessary for Rio Olympics

Baku, Azerbaijan, July 23

Trend:

It is already necessary to be morally ready for the Rio Olympics, says Azerbaijani gymnast Marina Durunda.

“Physical readiness is at a good level,” she told Trend July 23. “It is necessary to be ready morally.”

“I made mistakes in hoop and clubs exercises,” she added. “I performed better with ribbon and ball. I hope to perform even better in two finals and justify expectations of coaches and the entire Azerbaijani team.”

The FIG World Cup Final in Rhythmic Gymnastics will last until July 24, giving a unique opportunity to watch the performances of eminent gymnasts from 17 countries two weeks prior to the Rio Olympics.

Twenty-six gymnasts and nine 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 traditional Gala will be held on July 24 as part of the FIG World Cup Final in Rhythmic Gymnastics in Baku.
