Azerbaijan was represented by Ivan Tikhonov in the All-around and Nikita Simonov in the Rings event.
After performing across six apparatuses in the qualification round, Ivan secured a spot in the All-around final, while Nikita advanced to the Rings final.

In the decisive stage, Nikita Simonov ranked 5th in the Rings final and Ivan Tikhonov placed 13th in the All-around.
