Oyan Nazariani, head coach of the Azerbaijan national beach wrestling team, hopes that the number of participants in the national championship will be high and that they will be able to select the best and prepare them for the Olympics.
Idman.biz reports that the expert stated this in an interview with "Report".
He emphasized that wrestlers will be attracted from various cities and regions of the country to prepare the team: "This is not the first championship among wrestlers of this age. Previously, such championships were held among wrestlers aged 17 and 20, as well as adults. The reason why we are organizing the competition earlier this year is that the Youth Summer Olympic Games will be held next year. Which includes beach wrestling. In order to prepare the team, we will attract wrestlers from various cities and regions of the country and hold this championship. We hope that the number of participants will be high enough and we will be able to select the best and prepare them for the Olympics."
He did not rule out the possibility of changes in the youth team before the upcoming world championship: "The World Beach Wrestling Championship for under 17s will be held in September. Previously, we had won two gold and one bronze medals in four weight categories at the European Championship for this age group. We were first in terms of the quality of gold medals. However, we finished fourth in the team competition due to a failure in one weight category. We can use new kids at the World Championship. But most likely, there will be no changes in the adult team. Because the World Championship among adults consists of several stages and wrestlers have already participated in two of them. Changes can be made to the squad before the World Championship depending on the situation of the youth."
It should be noted that the Azerbaijan Championship will be held on July 16-17.
