— We have known Dina and Arina for quite a long time, since I moved to Moscow when I was 11 years old. The three of us lived in the same room at the Olympic Training Center. We were good friends and spent a lot of time together. Even then, the girls taught me a lot. Then I just arrived, I knew nothing and I took their example from them.

Dina and Arina Averina are legends; they have left a big mark on the world of rhythmic gymnastics. I don’t think they ended their careers prematurely.

— I think Dina and Arina will stay in the world of rhythmic gymnastics. They have an incredibly broad experience that they will be happy to pass on to the younger generation,” Stubailo said in an interview with .
