BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 22. A great atmosphere prevails at the 29th Azerbaijan Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship, student of the Ojag Sport club Shams Aghahuseynova told Trend on the event sidelines.
"My mother and sister came to cheer me on during the competition. I performed routines with the hoop and ribbon. My hoop performance wasn't flawless, but the ribbon composition worked out beautifully. This season, I have a new hoop routine, and the 29th Azerbaijan Championship is the first time I'll be presenting it. So I made a few blunders because I was nervous.
The routine is set to music from the Harry Potter film, which I enjoy, and I want to do it flawlessly at the upcoming events. I've read the Harry Potter novels and seen the films; it's an intriguing character, and I'm glad my performance is related to this theme," emphasized the young athlete.
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 Center, and Sumgayit Olympic Sports Complex are participating in the championship competitions taking place at the National Gymnastics Arena in Baku on March 21-23.
