Azerbaijani judoka Zelim Kotsoyev (100 kg) will not be allowed to compete for a bronze medal at the European Championship held in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. Sport24.az reports that Zelim Kotsoyev was removed from the bronze medal match because he received a direct "hansoku-make" for a prohibited technique in the semi-final duel with Simeon Katarina (Netherlands).
Kanan Nasibov (+100 kg) and Madina Kaisinova (+78 kg), who joined the fight today, stopped the fight early.
With this, our team finished the continental championship with 4 medals. Earlier, Hidayat Heydarov (73 kg) won silver, Ahmad Yusifov (60 kg), Turan Bayramov (66 kg) and Zelim Tckayev (81 kg) won bronze medals.
