Olympic champion Hidayat Heydarov gave an interview to Judo TV.

Offsideplus.az reports that the athlete, who won a gold medal at the Guadalajara Grand Prix, believes that he will return to the top again:

"Even when I lost at the world championship, I knew that I would return to the top again. In professional sports, there are ups and downs - you are either at the top or down. Frankly, I don't worry too much about the downs. I am an Olympic, world and European champion and I am sure that I will return again. And all this criticism only motivates me - I love it."
