The National Gymnastics Arena will host the Baku Championships in Aerobics on February 7.

This is the first time that Azerbaijan is holding such a competition. The gymnasts will attend in individual, mixed pairs and group categories.

The competition will bring together gymnasts born in 2004-2006 and 2001-2003, as well as seniors – national team members.

The competition will start at 15.00 at the Auxiliary hall of the National Gymnastics Arena. The address of the event is Heydar Aliyev Avenue, 108 near the "Koroglu" metro station.

Entrance is free for public.

As a gymnastic discipline, aerobics was established under the leadership of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), in Azerbaijan in 1995. Last year, the government took major steps to develop it further.

Earlier, the national representatives successfully passed some tests organized by the federation in Austria. The aerobics team attended the World Cup for the first time held in the Bulgarian city of Borovets and took the third place.
