BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 18. The Rhythmic
Gymnastics World Cup is being held in Baku at the National
Gymnastics Arena from April 17 through April 19, Trend reports.
The competition is taking place in Azerbaijan for the 13th time
and has brought together the most talented gymnasts from 42
countries.
The key distinguishing feature of this World Cup is its status
as a qualification event for the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympic
Games. Over the three-day competition, athletes will compete in
individual routines using apparatus such as hoop, ball, ribbon, and
clubs, as well as group exercises featuring combinations including
three hoops plus two pairs of clubs and three balls plus two pairs
of clubs.
The first two days of the tournament are dedicated to
qualification rounds, while the final day will feature the finals.
The competition, which began today, will conclude on April 19.
At the end of the event, the individual gymnast and the group
exercise team with the highest execution score will be awarded the
traditional “AGF Trophy.”
Hosting such a prestigious competition in Azerbaijan is seen as
an important contribution to the development of gymnastics and the
motivation of young athletes. We wish all participants success, and
spectators are invited to follow the sporting event closely!
