Azerbaijani female wrestler Gunay Gurbanova (59 kg) went to the world championship to win a gold medal.
This was stated by the athlete herself, who won a bronze medal at the U-20 world championship held in Samokov, Bulgaria, in an interview with "Report".
She stated that she had prepared seriously for the competition:
"I went to Bulgaria to become a world champion. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. Perhaps complacency in the semi-final did not allow me to win. There is also defeat in sports. Every defeat is a lesson."
Gunay Gurbanova said that she is still young and wants to achieve greater success in the future:
"I am still 17 years old. In this regard, the bronze medal can also be considered a good result. Therefore, I am grateful. I will do my best to become a world champion in the upcoming competitions."
It should be noted that Gunay Gurbanova won against Canadian Ella Finding with a score of 4:1 in the match for third place and climbed to the honorary podium.
