Azerbaijani gymnasts continue delighting their fans with excellent achievements made at international tournaments. This time the national athletes returned with medals from Kazakhstan.

The national gymnasts shined at the 2nd "ZHULDYZ-CUP" International Tournament held in Astana, Kazakhstan on June 23-25.

The country was represented by Yuliia Soloviova in senior program, as well as Darya Farshbafshahriyari, Darya Sorokina and Yelyzaveta Luzan in junior program.

Junior gymnast Darya Sorokina’s final exercise with clubs brought her gold medal, while she was awarded with the “silver” for her ball routine. Having performed with a rope in the final, Darya Farshbafshahriyari contented herself with the 3rd place.

Darya Farshbafshahriyari also took the 1st place in the all-around of the “Baby Cup” competitions organized at the same time with the tournament.

Yuliia Soloviova, making her debut on the international arena, stopped a step away from the medal in her final performance with a ball.
