Russian gymnasts Dina and Arina mascots, RIA Novosti reports.
“Our main mascot is Irina Aleksandrovna Viner-Usmanova,” Arina Averin called the president of the All-Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation and the head coach of the Russian national team with a smile. Dina added that when Viner-Usmanova is around, it is easier for gymnasts to prepare for the performance, because she “tunes very well.”
“And so, there are still toys, one of which has already been lit up. This is a meerkat that is always with us after performances. And there are still their own talismans, “- said Dina Averina.
Earlier, Dina Averina answered the question of continuing her career. The 23-year-old gymnast expressed uncertainty about the further continuation of her sports career.
On November 12, Averina's sisters and other gymnasts of the Russian national team flew to Moscow after the World Championships in Japan and rest in the UAE. At the World Cup, Dina Averina won five gold medals and silver. She became an 18-time world champion and broke the record of Evgenia Kanaeva.
