Congratulations to our Paralympians!

President Ilham Aliyev has awarded the athletes and their coaches who have achieved high results at the 16th Tokyo Summer Paralympic Games, as well as the leaders of the National Paralympic Committee who have contributed to the development of sports in our country. I sincerely congratulate all those who were awarded by the President!

Almost every day of the Paralympic Games gave us joy and good feelings. Our athletes worthily represented our people in this prestigious competition and showed that nothing can stand in the way of perseverance, determination, and desire. 14 gold, 1 silver, and 4 bronze medals are a great achievement of Azerbaijan! As a veteran judoka, I am especially happy that our parajudokas won 6 gold and 2 bronze medals and took first place in the overall medal standings.

Congratulations once again to all our athletes, I wish each of them good health, long life, new victories, and achievements!
