“Azerbaijan will become the 14th country to host the European TeamGym Championships since the competition began in 1996. The event in Baku will be our 8th official European Championship.”
As reported by İdman.biz, this was stated by the head of the Technical Committee for TeamGym of European Gymnastics, Per Sjostrand, announcing the main starts of the season.
He noted that April is the start month of the continental championships in various gymnastic disciplines. The President of the Technical Committee spoke about the Open Championship, which will be held from October 16-19 in Baku, as well as his visit to our capital in early March.
“Baku is characterized by a combination of oil development and ancient cultures. It’s a mix of old and new, with futuristic skyscrapers and ancient mosques.
In early March, representatives from European Gymnastics and the local organizing committee met at the National Gymnastics Arena to discuss preparations for this year’s TeamGym Championships. The arena can accommodate from 5,000 to 9,600 spectators. Warm-up and training rooms are located on the arena adjacent to the hall.
With many years of experience in organizing high-level events, the Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation has a wealth of knowledge. However, TeamGym is a relatively new addition to their portfolio and this is now a great opportunity to take TeamGym out of its natural environment and leave behind a lasting legacy,” Sjostrand emphasized on the EG website.
