Today I’m very happy, I think that this medal is what I deserved, and I’m very happy with this result. Being the third one today is, in fact, my level here.

I really enjoyed Turkmenistan with this beautiful arena, everything is so comfortable, beautiful, just gorgeous. Our entire team feels very comfortable here and we are delighted with the locals, they are very hospitable and friendly".
