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.
