Russian gymnasts Dina and Arina Averina revealed each other’s unusual habits. The interviews of the athletes are available on the Vogue Russia YouTube channel.
“Dina’s funny habit is to wake up not to the alarm clock, but to my screams,” noted Arina. Dina shared that Arina’s funny habit is that she often takes orders.
During the interviews, the athletes also revealed what they had in their training bags. In addition to gymnastic items, CDs with music, medical supplies and cosmetic bags, girls carry with them a special iron for a ribbon and a notebook with trainers’ remarks.
