The support of the spectators of the Open Championship of the "Ojag Sport" Club in Rhythmic Gymnastics helps to perform even more confidently, the seven-year-old participant of the competitions from the Ojag Sport club Isabella Maharramzade told Trend.

“I’m satisfied with the performance of the exercise without an apparatus. I prepared hard for the championship, listened to all the instructions of the coach, and tried to fulfill them exactly.
