BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 3. Competing in European Rhythmic Gymnastics Cup is a new and exciting experience, Daniela Munitz told Trend on the event's sidelines.
"I was delighted to learn that we had a new competition on our calendar. The European Cup is played in a new format, which is a fascinating experience. At competitions, I want to demonstrate my best performance, and if I manage to win awards," she emphasized.
The Israeli gymnast mentioned that the Baku audience supports the participants of the European Cup well.
"The competition hall at Baku's gymnastics arena is vast and gorgeous, with everything looking really nice. The audience provides wonderful support. I admit that I was nervous throughout the ball workout. It was the first event, therefore I was a little frightened before getting on the mat," she noted.

"It will be interesting to watch her performance at the European Cup," she added.
