“I’ve never seen this kind of organization anywhere else before”

We present to you an interview with Vice-President of the National Olympic and Sports Committee of Cameroon, the Council Member of the African Badminton Confederation - Ms. Odette Assembe Engoulou.

We would like to know your impression about the 2nd Baku Gym For All International Challenge. 
- I express my gratitude to the organizers of the event. I really enjoy it. Watching this “Challenge" & witnessing the performances really gives a very content effect.

How do you assess the development of Gymnastics in Azerbaijan?
- Undoubtedly, the level of development of Gymnastics in Azerbaijan is so high. Because I have never seen this kind of organization anywhere else. Based on what I saw here, I came to the conclusion that Azerbaijani gymnasts are athletes with a unique place in the world. I think that seeing the conditions created for the development of Gymnastics in Azerbaijan will inspire the Gymnastics federations of the world to develop this sport in their countries and they will want to come and learn your experience.

What will you remember the most during the days you spent in Azerbaijan?
- I will remember the warm attitude of majority of people here about this place. I have never seen such an attitude anywhere else. During these days, they were even so warm that I feel at home. Moreover, I want to express my gratitude to the state of Azerbaijan for paying so much attention & care to sports and creating conditions for its development. This is very important. Therefore the development is going on.
