The Russian men's national gymnastics team returned to Moscow after competing at the European Championships in Croatia. The athletes were solemnly welcomed on August 24 at the capital's Vnukovo airport.

Gymnast Daniel Marinov noted that the tournament was a serious challenge for both young athletes and more experienced participants.

"It was a difficult debut at the European Championships for the young people who competed at the European Championships, and for the older guys who also competed for the first time at the European Championships. According to the results, we all have medals, and this is very good," said Marinov.

The national team members also shared their impressions of returning to the international arena. According to gymnast Arseny Dukhno, the atmosphere at the competition was friendly.

"Everyone treated us perfectly, there were no misunderstandings. Everyone was very happy to see us. We have finally returned to the international arena," the athlete said.

Dukhno won silver medals in the individual all-around and floor exercises. For Russian gymnasts, the European Championship has become one of the first major international tournaments after a long absence from the European arena.
