Emanuela Maccarani, the coach of the Italian national rhythmic gymnastics team, told Vestnik Kavkaza that "the hall is very beautiful and everything is very beautiful, everything was done in a very good way."
"I am pleased that we had a chance to practice in a such a great hall. Everything we saw was just great," she said.
"I went to the city yesterday. I liked it. I was here in 2005 when Italy won its first medal at the world championships. I think the city has changed a lot since that time and become much more beautiful. Everything changed and now looks much more beautiful and expensive. There were a lot of people on the streets, even though it was Thursday. People want to have a walk, to party," the coach said.
