Today, our taekwondo athletes finished their performances at the III CIS Games.
The head coach of our team, Elnur Amanov, commented on the results they achieved to Idman.biz.
- After the three gold medals won yesterday, we only have one gold medal today. Although 11 of our athletes reached the semi-finals, only one person, Vasif Salimov, reached the final...
- And he won! So, the kids finished their performances beautifully.
- So, are you satisfied with the results?
- Four gold medals is a very good result. Yes, it is a pity that only one of our 11 taekwondo athletes competing in the semi-finals today reached the final, but this is sport. Some were unlucky, while others were overly confident that they would reach the final. Overconfidence in sports never leads to anything good. But I initially predicted five gold medals, so I sincerely admit that we won one gold less...
We currently have very strong young athletes. Most of the medalists will prove themselves in competitions among adults.
