Martin van Aizendorn: I will come back to Mongolia
-First of all congratulations on becoming the champion of The 4th World Cadet Championship. Tell us about your experience?
-Thank you, I am so happy that I came to Mongolia and became a champion. I practiced what I preach in myself and I have a big gift for my country.
-What did you think about the organization of the event?
-The organization was quite good, I think, and my achievement was really good too.
-What do you know about Mongolia? Have you ever been in Mongolia before?
-When I knew that the championship was to be held here, I explored things about Mongolia. I got information about Mongolia and thought that it would be so cold here, but I was warm and so nice. And in the night there are a lot of stars in sky. It is so interesting because I have never seen so many stars like that.
-What do you have to say about your opponents?
-The opponents were so strong this year but I finally won. My main opponents were the Russians, and the Mongolian checkers were also strong.
-Thank you, good luck in your next championships!
-Thank you so much, I will probably come back to Mongolia.
