More than 100 gymnasts from 25 countries took part in qualification at the 2018 AGF Trophy, an FIG World Challenge Cup event held Thursday and Friday at the National Gymnastics Arena in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Seven-time Olympian Oksana Chusovitina (Uzbekistan) was once again on top of the scoreboard for women's vault. Chusovitina, who turns 43 in June, averaged 14.399 to qualify first over Azerbaijan's Marina Nekrasova (13.983) and Slovenia's Teja Belak (13.400).

China's Lyu Jiaqi (14.633) and Luo Huan (14.333) were 1-2 for China on uneven bars, with Ukraine's Yana Fedorova (12.633) in third.

Luo qualified first in the low-scoring beam event (12.666), followed by Turkey's Göksu Üçtaş Şanlı (12.633) and Chusovitina (12.533). Croatia's Ana Đerek topped qualification on women's floor exercise (13.000), ahead of Üçtaş Şanlı (12.700) and Greek veteran Ioanna Xoulogi (12.633).

Olympic still rings champion Eleftherios Petrounias headlined the men's field. He earned the top score of the competition with his 15.400 on his speciality. His teammate Vlasios Maras, a former world champion on high bar, led qualification on his best event.
