Best of the best heading to #AER2025!

The nominative entries for the Aerobics Europeans are out. While the Azerbaijani city of Ganja is gearing up to host two weeks of European Aerobics competitions in November, the national federations had the tough task to decide which gymnasts to send.

And we’re in for an absolute treat! Scheduled to compete are big names like Turkish superstar Ayse Onbasi, reigning World Champion Miquel Mane (ESP), Bulgarian powerhouses Hristo Manolov, Antonio Papazov and Borislava Ivanova, defending European Champions Clara Lestruhaut, Maelys Lenclos and Victoria Trosset (FRA), Ukraine’s Anastasia Kurashvili and Stanislav Halaida among others.

Italy, crowned best team at both the 2023 European and the 2024 World Championships, counts on the expertise of World bronze medallist and defending European Champion Davide Nacci, who has his trusted colleagues including Sara Cutini, Marcelo Patteri, Matteo Falera and Francesco Sebastio by his side. All five athletes enjoyed silver success at the World Games this summer. Romania, the best junior team at the previous Europeans, brings a wealth of experience to Ganja. They will field top names like Leonard Manta, Daniel Tavoc, Darius Branda, Vladut Popa and Claudia Ristea, the World Games bronze medallists in the group final.

Fresh off an impressive victory at the World Games, Antonia Konig, Zoltan Locsei, Fruzsina Fejer, Anna Makranszki, Vanessza Ruzicska, Tunde Himmel, Kamilla Goda and Andras Agoston Mikulecz are looking to bring Aerobic Dance gold to Hungary yet again. The host nation’s hopes rely on reigning Vice-World Champions and World Games silver medallists Vladimir Dolmatov and Madina Mustafayeva.

We’re pleased to welcome former junior standouts like Nadia Almeida, Leonor Januario & Tiago Pinheiro (POR), Aleksandar Mishinkov (BUL), Sampo Nousiainen & Jade Sirvioe (FIN) to the senior competition too!
