He prepared seriously: reviewed theory and practiced techniques daily.
“When I stood on stage receiving the award, I was overwhelmed with emotion. The victory proved that all the hours of preparation and training were not in vain, – shared impressions Danis Bakirov. – Thanks to my family – they gave me strength even at moments when it seemed the progress was too slow.
