- What are your impressions of the first European Championship?
- Earlier, when I competed in 60 kg twice, I reached the final, but I lost both and was satisfied with a silver medal. On my third attempt, I reached the final. I promised myself and everyone that I would not miss my chance this time. It is gratifying that I got it and I got what I wanted.
- Don't you think that if you had competed in 66 kg before, you would have won the championship faster?
- It was such a fate, it is impossible to know. My championship has just happened. I also had some success in 60 kg. I do not regret anything in my career.
- To whom do you dedicate the victory?
- I dedicate my victory to the people of Azerbaijan, to our Army. In short, I dedicate my victory to the victory of our country.
- You greeted the soldier at the award ceremony. This was probably due to the victory of our Army. What would you say about the success on the front?
- I also greeted a soldier while winning a bronze medal at the Grand Slam in Budapest, Hungary. This was to support our victorious Army and soldiers. The victory on the front made us very proud. Like all the people of Azerbaijan, we are very happy. I wish God's mercy to our martyrs and healing to our surviving veterans.
- How did the European pandemic championship differ from others?
- The continental race, despite the pandemic, was, as always, difficult and memorable. We also do our best to achieve successful results.
- Did your main competitors participate in the competition?
- All my strong competitors from Europe were here. Despite the coronavirus, they all came. We can't meet our stronger rivals from Japan and South Korea in the continental championship.
- In which meetings do you think you have difficulties?
- From the first match to the final match, everything was difficult. There was responsibility, excitement. I would not like to mention any duel.
- What are your next goals?
- I want to continue to win gold medals and give results. This is not enough. We aim to further improve our results. (report)
