— So far, we have competed in every Challenger Series competition possible for us this season. It was not easy to return to competition after a long break from tournaments. There were mistakes that we will work on and try to approach the European Championships in our best form.
A big thank you to our trainers for their work and preparation! Thank you to the federation and its president for their support! And thank you to our parents and fans for believing in us! — wrote the athletes on their social media accounts.
