"The atmosphere in the national team is very good. We are all preparing for the Paris-2024 Summer Olympic Games together."
Rustam Alimli, coach of the Azerbaijan national judo team, told Idman.biz.
The specialist who trained world and European champions as the head coach of juniors has been continuing his work in the main national team since October. Alimli said that he expects a successful performance from the judokas at the next year's Olympics: "The goal of all our judokas is the Summer Olympic Games. They don't want to perform there, they want to win a medal. I believe that we will have at least 2 medals in Paris-2024. One of them will be gold. The atmosphere of the Olympics is completely different. If it's an athlete's day, anyone can win a medal. But if we look at the progress, Zelim Kotsoiev or Hidayat Heydarov can win a gold medal. There are many chances."
It should be noted that Alimli was ranked among the best coaches 1 day ago.
