I was glad when I found out that I would come to Baku for the World Cup. Last time I really liked it here, and I will also compete at the European Cup, which will take place on May 3-5.
As Day.Az reports, Belgian athlete Alessia Verstappen, a participant in the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup in Baku, told Trend about this on Friday.
“I like the way the hall is decorated, the lighting of the competition. Due to the fact that the light is directed only at the carpet, you get the feeling that you are alone with yourself, and this helps to cope with anxiety,” she noted.
Alessia Verstappen admitted that what she likes most is performing with hoop and clubs.
“These types are the best. But today, it seems to me, I performed the program with the ball well,” she added.
According to the athlete, there is a strong line-up of gymnasts at the World Cup in Baku.
“I know many, the gymnasts are strong, with a good level of training,” emphasized the grace from Belgium.
It should be noted that the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup is taking place at the National Gymnastics Arena in Baku on April 19-21. Over 110 gymnasts from more than 40 countries take part in the competition. Gymnasts perform in a program of individual and group exercises.
Azerbaijan at the World Cup in Rhythmic Gymnastics is represented by: in the individual program – Zohra Agamirova and Kamilla Seyidzade, as well as a team in group exercises, which included Gullyu Agalarzade, Kamilla Aliyeva, Elizaveta Luzan, Daria Sorokina, Lyaman Alimuradova and Zeinab Gummetova.
