BAKU 2015
HISTORY IN THE MAKING

When the first European Games get underway in Baku (AZE) this June, spectators will enjoy a unique multi-discipline Gymnastics experience at the glorious National Gymnastics Arena, a 6,800 seat purpose-built venue exclusively dedicated to Gymnastics and inaugurated in 2014.

For the first time at a major international gymnastics tournament, all competitive FIG disciplines - Men’s and Women’s Artistic Gymnastics, Rhythmic, Trampoline, Aerobic and Acrobatic Gymnastics - will be represented and staged under the same roof. They will be part of an ambitious European Games programme of 20 sports with the participation of more than 6,000 athletes.

Each gymnastics discipline will last for three days, except Artistic Gymnastics, which will be held over four days of competition, with 446 gymnasts battling it out in 34 medal events. Of all the sports at Baku 2015, Gymnastics has the second largest number of medal events. Rhythmic gymnasts Marina Durunda (AZE) and Kseniya Moustafaeva (FRA) have been named ambassadors of the event, organised by the Baku European Games Operations Committee (BEGOC) in cooperation with the European Olympic Committees (EOC).
