Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation is very strong both technically and economically, Naomi Valenzo, president of the Pan-American Gymnastics Union and member of the Executive Committee of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), told Trend.

“We appreciate the work the Federation has done, because not every federation can organize such events,” she said.

Valenzo went on to say that the Congress is going very well and many important issues have been addressed.

She stressed that one of the important issues was inclusion of parkour in the list of disciplines.

“I want to take an opportunity and to congratulate him with this job, and for bringing the Congress to Baku,” Valenzo underlined.
