"Except for a few weight classes, wrestlers in all other categories lived up to expectations."

Elchin Jafarov, the former Greco-Roman wrestling coach of Azerbaijan, told the Offsideplus.az website about the national championship among under-20 wrestlers.

An experienced specialist said that the competition held at the Absheron Olympic Sports Complex attracted the attention of promising athletes: "In general, the championship was very well organized. Some wrestlers caught my attention. They deserve to wrestle in the European and world championships this year as part of the main team. Of course, the choice depends on the coaches. However, if a 19-20-year-old wrestler does not try his hand at the adult competition, how will he get to the Paris Olympics in 2028?"

The honored coach did not want to mention a specific name in the list of wrestlers who distinguished themselves in the championship: "You know, it can have the opposite effect. If I name someone, they can be reassured. On the contrary, such athletes should be constantly monitored, they should take training seriously. One of the gratifying points is that some wrestlers who distinguished themselves among juniors also distinguished themselves in the fight of young people. This shows that those athletes are not confident, and the training processes are carried out correctly."
