Marina Durunda, senior individual gymnast from Azerbaijan aims to make her nation proud in Baku 2015 European Games. These are the 1st EG in history.

“I love rhythmic gymnastics. I could not imagine myself doing anything else. I started doing gymnastics 13 years ago, when I was 4 years old. At that time, my body was not suitable for sport, as I wasn’t slim and fit enough, but I continued”

Marina is honoured to represent Azerbaijan at the first European Games in Baku and her aim is to win a medal.

“When I heard I had been selected as an ambassador for European Games I was very happy. At the same time, it is a very big responsibility because I am performing for my country, Azerbaijan. I really want the nation to be proud of me. It is an honour to take part in a competition like this. The feeling of the audience cheering me up is amazing. I’ll try to do my best”
