We are hearing from athletes participating in the First European Games in Baku that these games are as good as the Olympics in sports tension and even better in the terms of organization, sports commentator of Vestnik Kavkaza, Orhan Elchuev, has said live on Vesti FM Radio.
"On the seventh day the Russian team took six gold medals, its lion's share was won by wrestlers," Elchuev said.
He also noted that not only a lot of spectators have seen the spectacular events in the individual all-round in rhythmic gymnastics, but also the First Lady of Azerbaijan, the chairwoman of the Organizing Committee of the First European Games, the president of the Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation, Mehriban Aliyeva. The sports commentator of Vestnik Kavkaza added that Aliya Mustafina, who is the clear favorite in the women's all-round, became the champion of the First European Games with a clear advantage.
"While Mehriban Aliyeva visited the gymnastics, President Ilham Aliyev watched the competitions in taekwondo," Orhan Elchuev said.
