BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 21. Participant of the
29th Azerbaijan Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship, student of the
Ojag Sport club Sofia Mammadova told Trend the experience of
participating in the 29th Azerbaijan Rhythmic Gymnastics
Championship will boost her confidence in the next
competitions.

“I practiced a lot and worked hard to get ready for the
tournament. Contests provide me the chance to learn new things,
grow, and hone my abilities. Elite acrobats showcase their skills
in the tournament; the rivalry is intense.

I’ll be competing in the international tournament in Slovenia at
the beginning of April and in Serbia at the end of April. The
Azerbaijan Championship is a good opportunity to test your
strength,” said the young gymnast.

Mammadova noted that tomorrow she will demonstrate using a
ribbon and a hoop, having shown the referees exercises using a ball
and clubs today.

“I believe my workouts are effective and robust. I feel most
confident in the hoop exercise,” the gymnast emphasized.

Meanwhile, representatives of the Ojag Sports Club, Specialized
Children-Youth Gymnastics School of Olympic Reserves, the
Republican Complex Sports School, the Grace Sports Club, Kur
Olympic Training and Sports Center, Ganja Olympic Sports Club, Zira
Culture Centre, and Sumgayit Olympic Sports Complex are
participating in the championship competitions taking place on
March 21–23 at the National Gymnastics Arena in Baku.

in 2009–2010), and adults (born in 2008 and older).
