Azerbaijan is the favorite in the chovgan competitions at the III CIS Games.
According to the employee of "Report", who was seconded to Shaki, this was stated by Adilkhan Hasenov, a member of the Kazakhstan national chovgan team, after the match with Turkey.
He sees Azerbaijan as the champion:
"We see Azerbaijan as the main favorite of the chovgan games. I think they will be the champion. Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are also strong teams."
The expert also spoke about the match with Turkey:
"The game was very difficult. Turkey played great and resisted us. Although the score was 3:0, we won with difficulty. Plus, the weather conditions were not so good. I am glad that everything went well, no one was injured, neither people nor horses."
The athlete said that everything was good in terms of organization:
"Everything is great in terms of organization and we like it. This is the first time we have seen such a place. We have been to Baku before. We also liked Baku. Here it has its own atmosphere, nature, mountains. Organizing the championship here was a great idea."
It should be noted that the Kazakhstan team defeated Turkey 3:0 in today's match and advanced to the semi-finals. The chovgan competitions will end on October 7.
