European Gymnastics (EG) announced the TeamGym European Championship to be held in Baku on October 16-19.
As reported by Idman.biz, 304 adults and 237 teenagers from Azerbaijan, Iceland, Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Great Britain, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and Sweden will perform at the National Gymnastics Arena.
"The best of the best are traveling to Azerbaijan, providing an exciting line-up mix of experience and fresh energy!
On the nominative list are 7 members of the 2022 All-Stars Team: Nicole Hosseini (SWE), Bryndis Gudnadottir (ISL), Agnes Arvidsson (SWE), Ásta Kristinsdottir (ISL), Holly Barbour (GBR), Tofig Aliyev (AZE) and Connor Wharram (GBR). Aliyev won the silver medal in Tumbling at this year’s Trampoline Europeans, while he and Adil Hajizada were part of the history-making Azerbaijani tumbling team that clinched gold at the 2023 World Championships. Our 2022 Shooting star Tabea Zirnig (AUT) is also on the roster. To our delight we can welcome another team of last edition’s hosts Luxembourg, keeping the legacy alive," EG notes.
The format of the competition is also discussed:
"These European Championships feature competitions for Men’s, Women’s, and Mixed teams, both in the junior and the senior age categories. Each team must consist of between 8 and 10 gymnasts, plus up to 2 reserves. The mixed team must be 50/50 split in each apparatus/round.
Each team performs on Floor, Tumble, and Trumpet. The combined score of these three events determines the final ranking. The final standing of the qualification rounds determines which teams advance to the finals, where scoring starts from zero."
