ASAPES student evaluated his success. The 19-year-old athlete, two-time European and 1-time World Champion among teenagers and young adults, said that the competition was not too difficult for him: "I had 4 fights. There was some excitement before the meeting with the second of them - Burak Ozdemir from Turkiye. Because he is an experienced competitor with good results. But it was not as I expected. The fight was easy for me. In the end, I won with a score of 3:1. As the most difficult fight, he would single out the fight against Montenegrin Matija Bojic in the semi-finals. It was a little uncomfortable for me to face him. But I fought better. In the final, I defeated local Andras Laslo and won the gold medal."
19-year-old Savadov, who went from the youth team to the senior team a little earlier, also looked at his path to success: "I took the 5th place in my first senior European championship. It was here that my failure to win a medal gave me extra motivation. I believe that I will be able to get new titles as well. The opponent does not matter to me. I enter all battles to win. I don't care if my opponent is experienced or not. He has a title or not."
Savadov also announced his next goal. He said that he wants to win a gold medal among U20 karate players in October: "Then I want to rank the titles among adults. My dream is to become one of the best karate fighters.
