Acrobatic Gymnastics is an important part of our life, Australian athletes Alexandra McWhirter and Anna Tran-Dinh, participating in the Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships in Baku, told Trend.
"The podium training before the competition went well, we were able to correct our errors, and check the program again. This evoked much confidence, although we were still a little worried before today's first performance. The World Championships in Baku are held at a high level.
