Azerbaijani gymnast: Gold medal of European Games - result of serious trainings
Gold medal of European Games is the result of serious and hard
training, Azerbaijani gymnast Oleg Stepko who won gold medal in
artistic gymnastics parallel bars exercise said June 20.
"Today it was hard and a serious day for me," he said. "I had hard
trainings, it was a big load, serious exercises, and all this led
to this result. It so happened that I have grabbed today full medal
set: gold, silver and bronze", Stepko said.
He said that he also could have also gotten a gold medal in pommel
horse exercise.
"But judgment was tough, but fair. But gold medal is not a
concurrency. Victories at two rounds of World Championship and
European Games are not random", Stepko added.
The European Games that kicked off in Baku June 12, will last till June 28.
There is a total of 20 sports at Baku 2015: 16 Olympic sports and four non-Olympic sports. More than 6,000 athletes from across Europe will be representing their nations over 17 days of competition.
