Alexandra Soldatova: World Cup in Baku gave me a useful experience

FIG Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup in Baku was an important competition before the European Championship, since it helped to see all mistakes in the exercises, Russian gymnast Alexandra Soldatova said today in an interview with Vestnik Kavkaza.

"I could have done better, but it was very useful, since after making mistakes at the World Cup in Baku I can see what should I improve," she said.

She admitted that despite having huge experience of performing at such events, she always has different emotions before the competition.

The FIG Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup is held in Baku on Apr 28-30. 94 gymnasts from 21 countries will participate in it. 37 sportsmen will perform in the individual program, and 57 gymnasts within 10 teams will take part  in group exercises. Athletes will compete for 8 medal sets.
