It's incredibly interesting to take part in the international tournament in Baku, Swedish gymnast Felix Holgersson said, speaking with Vestnik Kavkaza after performing in the trampoline qualification on the sidelines of the European Championships in Trampoline, Tumbling and Double Mini-Trampoline.
"It's my first time in Baku, and I really like the Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation's organization of the tournament - these are among the most interesting competitions in which I participated. They did remarkable work," the Swedish gymnast stressed.
"Apart from the fact that we are provided with everything that an athlete can desire, the organizers also made an excellent show. The opening ceremony was one of the best in the history of European championships, it was very colorful. An excellent idea with mascot frogs, because such bright details make the competition more interesting," Felix Holgersson noted.
"I also liked Baku very much. On our first day here we visited the Old Town with a guided tour, it's very beautiful, I liked everything," the athlete concluded.
