"We have started preparations for a month."
Dadash Dadashbeyli (+109 kg), weightlifter of the Azerbaijan national team, told Idman.biz.
The leader of Azerbaijan team evaluated his condition after the injury. He said that after a serious knee surgery, he is preparing for the world championship to be held on December 6-15: "It has been 3 months since my surgery. The recovery period is already over. I said that I will become the world champion. I still maintain this claim. I suffered a serious injury that can happen to all athletes. This was the worst injury in my career. I'm still not quite ready, but I'm doing my heavy training intensively. I will do my best to win. We have never had the world championship at the end of the year. 59 athletes will fight for the gold medal in the weight class. There are no easy opponents in the World Cup. It will be a tough fight. Our main goal is to end the year in a better way."
Dadashbeyli won 3 bronze medals at the World Championship last year. He is also a European champion and a silver medalist of the World Cup.
