"Our goal in this training camp is to increase strength indicators, functional readiness, and endurance."

According to Offsideplus.az, these words were spoken by Khetag Gazyumov, the head coach of the Azerbaijani freestyle wrestling national team, in a statement to the press service of the Azerbaijan Wrestling Federation.

Evaluating the national team's training camp in Goygol, the specialist noted: "In the preparation process, which will conclude on January 31, priority is given mostly to physical training. We are preparing in a planned manner for our first competition of the season—the ranking tournament to be held in Albania. We are conducting our training camp in Goygol, focusing mainly on strength and functional preparation. At the same time, we are incorporating technical-tactical training. Of course, our aim is to fulfill our tactical tasks and study our opponents to know how to compete against them in the future."

He also assessed the current condition of the team: "It is still too early to talk about the team's current state because the Azerbaijan Championship was held recently. Our Federation organized tests; we underwent those tests and checked the athletes' physical condition. We are involving the wrestlers in the preparation process so they can perform at a high level in the future. Two training camps are planned for the ranking tournament in Albania. As I mentioned before, the first camp is focused more on strength and functional readiness. Additionally, we will hold a training camp in Baku focused on tactical and technical drills."
