Kamilla Aliyeva (born 3 April 2006) is an Azerbaijani group rhythmic gymnast.[1] She is the 2022 World 3 ribbons + 2 balls bronze medalist and 2022 European group All-Around, 5 hoops and 3 ribbons and 2 balls bronze medalist.

Career

Aliyeva took up the sport at age six after her grandmother saw her walk on her tiptoes and do movements that looked like gymnastics.[2]

Kamilla became age-eligible for senior competition in 2022 and became part of the national group. Between April and May she competed at two World Cups, Baku where the group won gold with 5 hoops and silver in the All-Around,[3] and Pamplona where they won two bronze medals in the two event finals.[4] Then at the European Championships in Tel Aviv, the Azerbaijani group won the bronze medals in the group All-Around, 5 hoops, and 3 ribbons + 2 balls.[5]

She represented Azerbaijan at the 2021 Islamic Solidarity Games where the Azerbaijani group won the gold medal in the all-around. Then in the event finals, they won gold in 3 ribbons + 2 balls and silver in 5 hoops behind Uzbekistan.[6] Aliyeva also competed at the 2022 World Championships alongside Laman Alimuradova, Gullu Aghalarzade, Zeynab Hummatova, Yelyzaveta Luzan, and Darya Sorokina. In the 3 ribbons + 2 balls final, the group won the bronze medal behind Bulgaria and Italy. This marked the first time an Azerbaijani group won a medal at the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships.[7]
