Azerbaijan was represented at the championship by members of the national team: Nikita Simonov, Ivan Tikhonov, Nazanin Teymurova and Samira Gahramanova.
Among our team members, the best result was achieved by Nikita Simonov. In the qualification round, he earned a score of 14.666 for his performance on the Rings and maintained the same score in the final, finishing in 5th place.
