In an interview with Vestnik Kavkaza, Azerbaijani gymnast Abdulla Al-Mashaykhi thanked Baku fans for supporting him and his teammates at the FIG Acrobatic Gymnastics World Cup, held in Baku.
“Although for me the most important thing is my confidence in how I will perform, I would still like to thank our fans for supporting us during performances, it’s awesome,” he said.
He also highlighted high level of competition in this tournament. "Not many countries participate, but those are best acrobats, because Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan always compete for best results at all World Championships," he noted.
