Luanda - The National Gymnastics Team rehearsed tumbling jumps on Thursday on a day reserved for training at the International Tournament, which takes place at the Kilamba Multipurpose Pavilion in Luanda.

The group worked on repetitions of movements in series, taking into account the final of the event, on Friday (18), commemorating the 50th Anniversary of National Independence, to be celebrated on November 11.

The athletes also improved the exercise of rounds and somersaults, somersaults without touching the mat with their hands and movements of inversion of the body in the air.

According to the national coach, Semba Tango, who spoke to ANGOP on Thursday, these sessions serve to prepare movements rigorously before the competition.

He explained that, in podium training, the criterion is to evaluate the concentration levels of the gymnasts, to prevent them from making mistakes in the match and during the execution of the jumping series.
