We present to you our interview with Angelica Kniyevczki, Ireland.
How is your training camp going in Baku?
- I’m from Brazil, where I spent ten years as a gymnast on the national team. Now, I’m coaching at Ireland’s Excel Gymnastics Club. My gymnasts and I are thrilled to be here because this is a fantastic opportunity for us. It’s the first time my gymnasts have traveled to another country for training and they are very excited. Everything has been incredible, beyond our expectations, it’s hard to put into words.
What are your thoughts on our National Gymnastics Arena?
- In my opinion, this is the best arena I’ve ever been to. I’ve seen a lot of places, mostly traveling for World Cup, but I’ve never seen anything like this. Coming here was a dream for both me and my gymnasts two years ago. I’ve been working with them for two years and we finally had this opportunity. And now we’re here.
Were you able to explore Baku? What did you like the most?
- We toured Baku and this is my first time in Azerbaijan. Honestly, the architecture is stunning, and it’s just an incredible place. The city is beautiful and the people are very welcoming. Everyone we’ve met at the gym has been extremely friendly. Thank you so much!
