We are happy with the success of our athletes

Pleasant questions are coming from our athletes again, our flag is being raised in prestigious international competitions, and our anthem is being played.

In the mixed team competition at the XVI Summer Olympic Festival of European Youth held in Banska Bistritsa, Slovakia, it is a very happy event that the Azerbaijani judo team defeated the strong teams of France in the semi-finals and the strong teams of Ukraine in the final and won a gold medal, as well as 1 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze medals in individual competitions.

This once again confirms that the state’s care for the development of sports in our country, as well as the reforms carried out in the Azerbaijan Judo Federation, ensured the consistent nature of achievements in judo.

In other types of sports, there are also successful results that make us happy: medals won at the U-17 World Wrestling Championship in Rome, the capital of Italy, the world championship among junior taekwondo players in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, the third place of the Azerbaijani U-18 team at the European Championship of young basketball players in San Marino. The victories of “Karabakh” and “Neftchi” furball teams in European-level competitions… These increase the fame of Azerbaijan as a sports country and show the high spirit of struggle and victory of our people.

I congratulate my athletes who gave us the joy of victory, I wish them new successes and achievements!
