Azerbaijani gymnasts are continuing to win Grand Prix tournaments. The athletes took home several medals in the Israeli city of Holon after a top performance in Moscow.

Azerbaijani national team leader Aliya Garayeva received three bronze medals, the Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation reported.

Meanwhile, Zeynab Javadli also won three bronze medals – not at the Grand Prix, but rather at the international competition.

"Thirteen-year-old Gulsum Shafizade won another bronze in a junior tournament, which I see as being a very important," Chief Coach Mariana Vasilyeva said. "Many specialists have already appraised this young athlete. I was pleased with our junior group team, which is starting to win silver medals."

She added that the junior team will also perform at the Baltic Hoop Games on March 12-13.
