“I am proud and happy for the guys. God grant that there will be more days like today, since the Olympic Games are complex competitions. In order to play in a team, you need to win medals in various sports. Since 1996, gymnasts have won gold medals for the first time ... I know how hard it is for the whole team, what a tremendous amount of work the federation, the coaching staff and the guys themselves have done, preparing for the Olympics. I congratulate them from the bottom of my heart! In this team, everyone has their own story, but overall they are great. There is nothing higher than a team victory in artistic gymnastics. A team, and even winning - this shows the level of development of this sport. I am proud for them, I express my deep gratitude and gratitude to them, "- quotes Mutko" Championship ".
