The Lebanese gymnast Alisa Sadek carried the flag of Lebanon at the opening ceremony of the 4th Islamic Solidarity Games in Baku. She told about her impressions to a correspondent of Vestnik Kavkaza after the 2nd day of the qualifying competitions in rhythmic gymnastics.
"The flag turned out to be heavy and it was blown away by the wind, but I managed it. I really liked the opening ceremony of the Games, there was a special atmosphere. It was an adventure for me, " she confessed.
The athlete was heartened by the Village of Athletes. "It's very good to live there between tournaments and trainings. A life surrounded by a large number of other athletes is very interesting. Despite the fact that all of them are from different countries, they are very kind with each other ", Alisa Sadek noted.
The gymnast thanked the organizers of the Games in Baku for the inclusion of rhythmic gymnastics in the program of the Islamic Solidarity Games. "I think this is very important, because rhythmic gymnastics is not so developed in many countries, which are the members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and therefore it is very important to include gymnastics in the Games, which will allow to develop this sport in the OIC countries," the athlete from Lebanon said.
