While appearing in the national gymnastics arena, Azerbaijani gymnast Fatima Yaverli, representing Zabrat Sports Club, tries to focus on the performance.

Yaverli is participating in the 26th Azerbaijan and Baku Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships.

“Today I have already performed an exercise with a ball,” Yaverli told Trend. “I will also perform with clubs and a ribbon. I performed the first exercise well although I made one mistake. I’m a little worried because I perform with a ribbon at the competitions for the first time. The main thing is to complete the program without losing the apparatus. The audience’s support encourages greatly.”
