Acting head coach of women's wrestling Togrul Asgarov assessed the national team's preparation for the Islamic Games at the VI Islamic Solidarity Games.
Idman.Biz reports that the Azerbaijan Wrestling Federation informed about this.
He said that the preparation process is over: "We are finishing the preparation for the Islamic Games. First, we had physical training, and then tactical and technical training. The gathering took place in Goygol. Our goal is to win at least 1 set of medals. I wish all our wrestlers to win medals," he noted.
The head coach added that sports are full of surprises: "Anything can happen. An athlete who is not considered a favorite can become a champion, or an ambitious wrestler can be left without a medal. The teams of Turkey, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan are the main rivals. Nigeria also has strong wrestlers in several weight categories. As a coaching staff, we have done our best to ensure that the national team members reach their maximum level of preparation."
It should be noted that the wrestling competitions at the Islamic Games will be held from November 18 to 21. Bashir Isazade, a 1st-class referee, will be one of those representing Azerbaijan at the Islamic Solidarity Games.
