News about reaching the final was very pleasant, Azerbaijani athlete Maryam Topchubashova, a participant in the Aerobic Gymnastics World Age Group Competitions, told Trend on May 22.

"I was very glad to learn that I reached the final. Tomorrow I’ll try to show a good performance," Topchubashova noted. "In the final I’ll try to take a prize place. After my performance in qualification, the coach praised me and said that I need to continue to work fruitfully in order to raise the level."

During the competition, she performed in an individual program, in a trio and in a group.

According to the athlete, it’s easier for her to perform in a trio.

"To be honest, I like to perform more in a trio. I feel that the exercise is easier. However, of course, both in the group and in the trio there is more responsibility, because here you’re responsible not only for yourself," added the gymnast.

As earlier reported, Topchubashova with a score of 18.400 points (sixth position) reached the final of the competitions held in Baku.
