Idman.biz reports that he commented on the Azerbaijan Championship and spoke about the upcoming competitions.
- Were the results of the national championship held in Ganja a surprise for you?
- The Azerbaijan Championship went as we expected. In 9 out of 10 weight categories, wrestlers who regularly participate in the national team's training process reached the final. Medal-winning athletes have been included in the team.
- What are your impressions of the Gymnasiade you participated in last month?
- We performed normally in Serbia. I consider the result satisfactory. We had 3 gold and 2 silver medals. Most importantly, 9 out of 10 children placed.
- How are you preparing for the European Championship to be held in Italy next month?
- We will switch to intensive training a month before the competition. We will start the general physical training process on May 26. We will give priority to tactical and technical exercises 10 days before the continental championship. All of this will take place in Baku.
- Which countries' teams do you see as the main rivals? We would like to know your prediction for the competition.
- Along with us, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, Armenia, and Hungary are considered favorite teams. I cannot say who I expect medals from and how many medals we will win. Because it will be the first major competition for most of them. Let's say they are taking the first step. U-15 is the most difficult age group. Therefore, it is impossible to give an accurate forecast. I believe we will perform well.
