Four-time world champion Eldeniz Azizli, competing in the 55 kg weight category in Greco-Roman wrestling, starts his fight for his fifth gold medal today.
İdman.biz reports that our athlete, already considered one of the favorites for the championship, has seen a sharp increase in his chances.
Azizli, 33, will not see his main rival, Russian Emin Sefershayev, who defeated him in the final of the last European Championship, on the Zagreb mats today.
According to information provided to our editorial office by the Federation, two-time European champion Sefershayev was detained immediately after arriving at the hotel in Zagreb, spent several hours at the police station due to a visa problem, and was subsequently deported from the country.
It should be noted that Azizli will hold his first meeting on the way to the championship with Indian representative Anil Mor.
