Anna Pavlova won the silver medal on vault at the 2014 European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships, held in Sofia, Bulgaria May 12-18, 2014. It was Azerbaijan's first medal at European Championships, and Pavlova's seventh, the other six being for her native Russia.

“I was very nervous whether I will do well in my first European Championships competing for Azerbaijan," Pavlova said (quoted by Gigi Khazback Farid on her site wogymnast.com). "I am very happy that I managed to win the first medal for my new country. They are helping me to stay in the international circuit – I am helping them to win medals.”
