Winning 2 medals in 3 weight categories at the European and World Championships is a great success.
According to "Report", referring to the press service of the Azerbaijan Wrestling Federation, this was stated by Togrul Asgarov, acting head coach of the women's wrestling team under 20.
He spoke about the performance of the national team members at the U-20 World Championship held in Samokov, Bulgaria:
"At the U-20 European Championship, 2 of our 3 athletes won gold medals. We expected the same result in this competition. We were very close to it. Gunay lost in the semifinals, and Ruzanna lost the victory at the last moment in the finals. I see it as normal for such cases to happen in teenagers and young people. I hope that we will not repeat these mistakes at the World Championships and the Olympic Games for adults. Let's work harder, show more perseverance. Our team is young, our path is long, and our goal is very big. There is strong support from the Federation. We will try to adequately respond to this support and attention. God willing, everything will be as we want. Sometimes participation in consecutive competitions causes psychological fatigue in girls. Despite all this, winning 2 medals in 3 weight categories at both the European and World Championships is a great success. It is very gratifying that these girls have great potential."
It should be noted that Azerbaijani women wrestlers won 1 silver and 1 bronze medal at the World Championship.
