The reason why Azerbaijani Olympic champion judokas Hidayat Heydarov (73 kg) and Zelim Kotsoiev (100 kg) will not participate in the "Grand Slam" tournament to be held in Paris, the capital of France, has been determined.
Idman.Biz reports with reference to "Report" that the head coach of the national team, Richard Trautman, made this decision.
The German specialist did not consider it appropriate to include the athletes in the squad for the first "Grand Slam" competition of the year.
Azerbaijan will be represented by eight judokas in the tournament to be held on February 7-8.
Let us remind you that Hidayat Heydarov (73 kg) and Zelim Kotsoiev (100 kg) are the winners of the Paris-2024 Summer Olympic Games.
