As with other disciplines, the international competition season for artistic gymnastics has officially begun.
The first international event attended by our representatives was the World Cup, held in Cottbus, Germany, from February 21 to 27.
Azerbaijan was represented by national team members Nikita Simonov, Ivan Tikhonov, Samira Gahramanova, and Nazanin Teymurova.
Among the men, the best result came from Nikita Simonov, who placed 10th in the rings event.
Another team member, Ivan Tikhonov, secured the 19th place on the parallel bars.
Competing for the first time at the senior level, Nazanin Teymurova finished 11th in the floor exercise among the women.
It is worth noting that last year, this promising young gymnast made history by becoming the first female Azerbaijani gymnast to qualify for the final stage at both the European Youth Olympic Festival and the European Championships.
