According to Offsideplus.az, another member of our team reached the podium on the final day of the individual competition.

Competing in the -81 kg weight category, Aykhan Hasanli defeated opponents from Costa Rica, Kuwait, Colombia, Armenia, and Japan on his way to the final. However, our judoka was defeated by Russia's Daniyal Biybolatov in the deciding bout, capturing the silver medal at the World Championships.
