Rasul Chunayev, Olympic medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling, world and European champion, was a guest at the basketball arena this time.
Idman.Biz reports that he watched the match between "Sabah" and "Absheron Lions" and also demonstrated his skills by putting the ball through the basket.
The experienced athlete, talking about his love for basketball, said that this sport has a special place for him:
"I love basketball very much. We Greco-Roman wrestlers play basketball before training. Despite the fact that I have finished my professional career, I play basketball at least once or twice a week. This is my favorite, native sport.
There is great support from our state in the development of basketball. I invite everyone to basketball. It is an interesting and positive sport. It is developing rapidly in Azerbaijan. I wish everyone success."
