The highlights of the competition are on your screen. Russian Ambassador Ilyas Iskandarov, President of the Gymnastics Federation of the Republic of the Congo Claudine Noël Miacassissa, the representatives of the Ministry of Sport, and the Brazzaville mayor's office were in the stands at the event. It was the prerogative of the Congolese side to hold the tournament.
