"I am looking forward to the start of the World Championship. I am sure that our athletes will perform there at a high level and will wave our tricolor flag."
Rasul Chunayev, winner of the 2015 World Championship held in Las Vegas, bronze medalist of the Olympic Games, gold medalist of the World Cup and prize winner of the European Championship, told İdman.biz.
The world championship will start on September 16 in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. Azerbaijan will be represented by 26 athletes at the World Cup. The former wrestler of our team said that the competition will be successful for the national team: "I think that the performance of athletes from Russia and Belarus at the World Cup will not affect the performance of Azerbaijani wrestlers." Regardless of the country, our athletes have always had their say in various competitions. I am sure that they will write history in this World Cup. Each of them deserves a gold medal and a license. I believe in each of the team members and wish them success."
It should be noted that Rasul Chunayev, who participated in 37 international competitions during his career, won gold medals in 13 of them, silver in 6, and bronze in 12. He finished his sports career last year.
