Azerbaijani fencer Anna Bashta will participate in the Olympics for the second time in her career.
Idman.biz reports that Bashta, who won a license for Paris-2024, also competed in Tokyo-2020.
With this, she repeated the record of the Azerbaijan fencing team. Until Anna, only Sabina Mikina (Kerimova) participated in two Olympics. Our Musketeer performed in London-2012 and Rio-2016.
Apart from Bashta and Mikina, only two of our fencers competed in the Olympic Games. Elkhan Mammadov participated in Atlanta-1996, Elena Jemayeva participated in Athens-2004.
It should be noted that Azerbaijan will be represented in fencing at the Olympics for the fourth time in a row.
