One of the participants of the World Championships, Azerbaijani gymnast Veronika Hudis who will represent Azerbaijan in an individual program, told about preparation for the competitions and the goals for the future.

Hudis has started to go in for sports thanks to her aunt who worked as a gymnastics coach.

“In my childhood, I spent a lot of time with my aunt as my parents were at work,” she said. “I went with her to the training hall not to sit at home.”

“While watching the training of gymnasts, I also became interested in training,” Hudis said. “I started to attend the gymnastics classes when I was three year old. I have been involved in the Azerbaijani team for four years."

Despite Hudis has a busy schedule and trains in the gym almost the whole day, sometimes the athlete finds time for her favorite hobby.

"When I have time, I like to draw,” she said. “I really like this activity. I can say that my hobby is drawing. This year I have entered the Azerbaijan State Academy of Physical Education and Sports. I look forward to the beginning of the classes."
