Our judokas make us happy

Our judokas have pleased us with their achievements in prestigious continental competitions in recent days. Our teenage boys won 2 gold and 4 bronze medals in individual competitions at the European Championship held in Poreč, Croatia, and took first place in terms of number and number of medals. 4 of our judoka girls participated in that championship and returned home with 1 gold and 1 silver medal. In the city of Poreč, our junior judokas participated in the team competition of the European championship and were awarded the bronze medal of the championship in this category.

Our athletes, who performed at the European Judo Cup among young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina, returned with 1 gold and 1 silver medal.

Our national judo team was the first in the open European tournament held in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Our athletes won 3 gold and 3 bronze medals in the competition. Murad Fatiyev, a student of “Judo club 2012”, is one of the owners of the gold medal. Taking first place among 33 countries at the Open European tournament is a great achievement.

I heartily congratulate our athletes who brought honor to our country with their victories, their coaches, as well as the leadership of the Azerbaijan Judo Federation!

May you have many victories and successes!
