European and two-time World Champion in tumbling, Mikhail Malkin, who will represent Azerbaijan in the final of the Trampoline and Tumbling World Cup held in Azerbaijan, shared his thoughts about the competition:

– During the qualification round, I performed both the first and second routines as I had planned. Tomorrow, I will increase the difficulty of both routines, and I hope to execute them accurately. I want to perform successfully on home soil. The initial rounds showed that our opponents are also quite strong. I must admit, I did not expect a gymnast from Portugal to perform the same difficult routine as I did. This means the final will be even more exciting.
