I dedicate the medal won at the sixth Azerbaijan Championship and the Baku Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championship to my coach, the gold medalist of the competition, representative of the Ojag Sport club Leyla Mammadzadeh, told Trend.

Mammadzade won first place in the competition in the age category "pre-juniors".

“I dedicate the medal to my coach Anzhela Abdullayeva. Many thanks to her, she puts so much effort into our training. I achieved success in sports thanks to her support,” the ten-year-old gymnast said.

According to the athlete, this is her second competition at the National Gymnastics Arena.

"I'm glad that the audience is watching the course of the competition, they support and cheer. My mother came to cheer for me today. It was not difficult to perform, I just needed to concentrate on the program. I think that today not only physical training helped me at the competition, but my morale. All rivals at the Championship were also well prepared," Mammadzadeh noted.

She dreams of taking part in the Olympic Games in the future, gymnast also added.
