Russian gymnast Victoria Listunova, who has won two gold medals today at the XV Summer European Youth Olympic Festival in Baku - in a vault and on uneven bars - praised the conditions organized at the XV Summer European Youth Olympic Festival in Baku. She shared her impressions in the interview with the correspondent of Vestnik Kavkaza.
The gymnast specified that it's her first time in Baku. "I have very good impressions of it, I like it here. The Olympic Village and the hall are very comfortable and large, the lighting is good and, most importantly, apparatus," Viktoriya Listunova explained.
She rated the Youth Olympic Festival as "a very serious competition". "We have been preparing for them for a very long time. So far I can not believe that I won four gold medals [also in the team events and in the individual all-around - VK]. I hope that tomorrow I will be able to win gold in the floor exercise, and also I would like to win the balance beam," the gymnast added.
According to her, next year she will also perform as a junior because of her age. "Next year there will be the European Championship, I hope will be there," the Russian gymnast concluded.
