"The hall is magnificent, the audience is great,” she said. “The perfect conditions have been created for training.”

While commenting on the performance of the Russian team in Baku, Viner-Usmanova stressed that sisters Dina Averina and Arina Averina won medals in the individual program, as well as gold and silver medals in the all-around competitions.

“So the results are not bad, but we have revealed mistakes and we should work on them,” she said.
