Azerbaijani gymnast stresses need to be morally ready for Rio Olympics
Azerbaijani gymnast Marina Durunda stressed the need to be morally ready for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
"Physical readiness is at a good level,” she told Trend July 23. “It is necessary to be morally ready."
"I made mistakes in hoop and clubs exercises,” she added. “I performed better with a ribbon and a ball. I hope to perform even better in two finals and justify expectations of coaches and the Azerbaijani entire team."
The FIG World Cup Final in Rhythmic Gymnastics will last until July 24, giving a unique opportunity to watch the performances of eminent gymnasts from 17 countries two weeks prior to the Rio Olympics.
Twenty-six gymnasts and 9 teams will compete for medals in the all-around on the first two days of competitions. Apparatus finals will be held on the event’s last day.
A magnificent opening ceremony, directed by the head coach of the Azerbaijani national team Mariana Vasileva, will be held on July 22, followed by the traditional Gala on July 24, as part of the FIG World Cup Final in Rhythmic Gymnastics in Baku.
