The best result among the juniors in the all-around was shown by gymnast of the Baku Gymnastics School, Darya Farshbafshakhriyari. She celebrated her victory by getting 49.250 points from the judges in total. Narmin Samadova (48.050) and Arzu Jalilova (47.700), the representatives of Ojaq Sport Club stopped at the positions followed. Our young gymnasts took the 2nd and 3rd places accordingly.

The excitement and tense of rivalry were observed among the gymnasts competing in the seniors’ age category. Our girls tried to demonstrate faultless performances on the floor to win the judges' sympathy. As a result, the promising gymnast of our national team, the representative of the Ojag Club, Zohra Aghamirova won the title of Azerbaijan Champion (64,900). Veronika Hudis, the representative of the same club, mounted the second step of the podium (47.500).
