"We have prepared very seriously for the European Olympic Qualifying Tournament. The mood in the team is at a high level."
Aliabbas Rzazade (57 kg), freestyle wrestler of the Azerbaijan national team, told Idman.biz.
He announced his goal in the European Olympic Qualifying Tournament, which will start on April 5 in Baku. The 25-year-old wrestler expressed confidence that he will win a license for the Paris-2024 Summer Olympic Games: "I have high self-confidence. I think I can do this. We are eagerly waiting for the race to start. We will do our best to be successful in front of our native fans and make our people happy."
Rzazade also revealed the names of his main opponents: "I have strong opponents. The most important of them is Macedonian Vladimir Yegorov. I want to take revenge on him. He defeated me in the final of the European championship after the injustice of the judges. In addition, Turkish wrestler Suleyman Atli is also a serious competitor. In fact, none of the athletes who will come to Baku can be called weak."
It should be noted that free wrestlers will compete on April 7.
