"The mood is just excellent, I received the most wonderful impressions in Baku. The tournament went very well, we were accepted in an exemplary manner, "she said.
Sabina Tashkenbaeva told that her father brought her to gymnastics. "At first, I was brought to artistic gymnastics, but there I was told that I was too plump - and I was taken to rhythmic gymnastics. I love gymnastics, because it hardens, gives endurance and ensures beautiful figure, " the Uzbek gymnast said.
