A historic moment at the European Youth Olympic Festival
The European Youth Olympic Festival took place from July 20 to 26.

Azerbaijan was represented in artistic gymnastics by Rafael Hasanov, Albina Aliyeva, Aynaz Majidzada, and Leyla Mammadzada.

For the first time in history, our women’s artistic gymnastics team competed in the event with three gymnasts.

Albina Aliyeva made history by qualifying for the vault final among the top gymnasts from 35 countries. Unfortunately, she was unable to place in the top three in the final.

We thank our gymnasts for their determination and effort in this prestigious competition and wish them success in future events!
