Today, the "Paris Grand Slam" - international judo tournament starts in the capital of France. So, can our athletes hope for success in this competition, which is called the "small world championship"?
Idman.Biz addressed this question to Mehman Azizov, a well-known tatami master of the recent past and a participant in three Olympics.
"Our judokas can be among the prize-winners, but it is extremely difficult to win here. To win, you need to have Heydarov's mentality. Hidayat is one of those rare athletes who does not accept any result other than first place. This requires special tuning. Unfortunately, he is missing the tournament this time.
Zelim Tskayev, who competes in the 81 kg weight category, in my weight, has a great chance of winning a medal. It will be very difficult for Balabay Agayev (60 kg), who has won twice in Paris, this time - the competition is extremely high in his weight. Ruslan Pashayev (66 kg) also has good prospects for a successful performance," said Mehman Azizov.
