BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 7. Every contestant in the World Cup is a competitor for me, Italian gymnast Edoardo De Rosa told Trend.
"My performance at today's Artistic Gymnastics World Cup in Baku went smoothly, and I'm generally satisfied. During the initial qualification day, I showcased routines on parallel bars and rings, with tomorrow requiring a presentation on the pommel horse. I appreciate the availability of podium training here, as it's not a common practice in many countries", he said.
