Dina Averina told why it was hard to perform at a gala concert

MOSCOW, May 30, Anatasia Panina. Russian gymnast Dina Averina said that she performed at a gala concert for Children's Day, despite the lack of sleep throughout the day. Dina and Arina Averina, as well as Lala Kramarenko, took part in an international tournament in Dubai on Sunday. After the flight, the Russians went to the gala performance «Stars of Rhythmic Gymnastics and the Turetsky Choir.» «We tried to please the children and the audience, to convey to them all our energy and emotions. It was hard, because we did not sleep the night, we can say that we went for the second day (without sleep). The concert went like a blur for us, probably because we have not yet realized that we are already in Moscow and are performing,» Dina Averina told reporters. «Is such an overload beneficial? I think not. At competitions there is a certain schedule according to which we work, but here we, it turns out, flew at night and therefore didn’t sleep at all. We violated both the training schedule and sleep. It seems to me that it even harms our health a little, but this is not the first time with us, we are used to Tomorrow we have a day off, and then everything goes according to plan,» she added.
