Azerbaijani judoka Eljan Hajiyev (90 kg) has won a medal at his second consecutive Universiade.
Idman.biz's correspondent dispatched to Germany reports that he first distinguished himself two years ago at the Universiade held in Chengdu, China.
Then, Hajiyev won a bronze medal in the team competition. In the match for third place, our male judokas defeated Mongolia.
Currently, at the Universiade ongoing in the Rhine-Ruhr region of Germany, Hajiyev won a silver medal in the individual competition.
It should be noted that there are several athletes in the history of Azerbaijani sports who have distinguished themselves in two consecutive University Games. For example, Nazim Babayev won the long jump at the Universiades held in 2017 and 2019. Gymnast Zohra Aghamirova won two silver medals in Naples in 2019, and in Chengdu, she added two silver and one bronze medal to this success.
