She recalled that taekwondo was included in the program of this tournament for the first time:
"This is also a novelty in the 34-year history of the festival. Our team will be represented by 8 athletes in this competition, including 5 boys and 3 girls. The team includes experienced and promising athletes. We have participated in two competitions since the beginning of the year. These competitions were a kind of preparation for this festival. Our team is already in the final stage of preparation. Of course, this is a competition, it is difficult to predict in advance. But our athletes are working intensively in training. They feel in good shape. There are athletes in the team who can produce results. I hope that our team will return home from the festival with medals."
