Azerbaijani wrestling is capable of making its mark in the world's biggest arenas.

"Report" reports that this was written by Mikayil Jabbarov, President of the Azerbaijan Wrestling Federation, on his personal "X" account.

He recalled that at the European Championship held in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, both our freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling national teams became continental champions:

"Our wrestlers won 4 gold, 2 silver and 7 bronze medals in this competition. Our national team became the European champion in the team standings for the 5th time in freestyle wrestling. Giorgi Meshvildishvili (125 kg) won gold, Osman Nurmagomedov (92 kg) won silver, Islam Bazarganov (57 kg), Ali Rahিমzade (65 kg), Kenan Heybatov (70 kg) and Aganazar Novruzov (74 kg) won bronze medals. Jala Aliyeva (57 kg), a member of our women's wrestling team, became the third in Europe, showing great determination despite her injuries. Our Greco-Roman wrestling team became European champion for the 2nd time. Nihat Mammadli (60 kg), Hasrat Jafarov (67 kg) and Gurban Gurbanov (82 kg) won gold, Eldaniz Azizli (55 kg) won silver, Ulvu Ganizade (72 kg) and Islam Abbasov (87 kg) won bronze medals. The professionalism and strong will demonstrated by our athletes once again showed that Azerbaijani wrestling is capable of making its mark in the world's biggest arenas. We congratulate our wrestlers, their parents, coaches and federation representatives."
