Azerbaijani gymnast happy with her performance at European Games
Azerbaijani female gymnast Marina Durunda, who reached the
finals in artistic gymnastics in three disciplines at the European
Games in Baku, is happy with the results of her performance, she
told reporters June 19.
“I believe that I performed well,” said Durunda. “A mistake was
made in the first event of the program, which is why I didn’t reach
the clubs finals, but all other three disciplines were performed at
a high level. Of course, we could do better, there is no limit to
excellence, but it is sports.”
“There was a certain excitement, as we perform in our host country,
the whole country supports us, and everyone hopes and worries for
us,” she said. “I think that I will be able to compete for medals
in the finals with such support.”
