It is gratifying that an increase was observed in the number of participants and finishers.
"Report" reports that this was stated by the Minister of Youth and Sports Farid Gayibov in a statement to journalists after the Gabala-Khankendi ultramarathon.
He said that the competition was organized at a high level:
"Reconstruction work in Karabakh is proceeding at full speed. For our part, we have already held competitions in the liberated territories several times. Last year, the ultramarathon started in Khankendi, and this year it ended in Khankendi. It is gratifying that an increase was observed in the number of participants and finishers. Moreover, the number of female participants this year was higher than last year. In addition, the large number of foreign athletes participating in the competition was commendable. This once again proves that we are on the right track. I express my gratitude to the Azerbaijan Athletics Federation and the Baku City Circuit for making the competition interesting."
