"Grace of nature" international rhythmic gymnastics tournament is expanding in Nakhchivan.
General Secretary of the Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation (AGF) Nurlana Mammadzada told İdman.biz about the features of the competition and its importance for the regions.
She noted that for the first time an international gymnastics tournament was organized outside of Baku. "This competition is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of national leader Heydar Aliyev, and it is not by chance that Nakhchivan was chosen as the venue of the event. Currently, there are rhythmic gymnastics divisions in thirty districts of the republic, and in "Grace of nature" young athletes from the capital and Nakhchivan, as well as athletes from Ganja, Agdash, Mingachevir, Oguz, Gakh, Shamkir and Zagatala participate. Gracias perform in all-around and individual competitions in four age groups. Teams will also demonstrate their skills in group activities," N. Mammadzada said.
She also noted the importance of holding gymnastics events. "Within the framework of the Federation's measures for the development of gymnastics in the regions, we invite athletes from the regions and their coaches to a training camp at the National Gymnastics Arena. There, they have the opportunity to train in the same hall as the national team and prepare for national competitions. And many of them are now performing in Nakhchivan. About 250 young athletes are participating here. We hope that a great sporting future awaits them, and the girls will be successful in the international arena," added N. Mammadzada.
The general secretary of the Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation also noted that the "Grace of nature" tournament is planned to be held every year. "Her name translates as 'Nature's Grace.' And we plan to organize the tournament every year in different regions of the country. We hope that everything will be done," I. Mammadzada concluded.
