Ziya Babashov (63 kg), the winner of the Muhamet Malo international tournament held in Tirana, Albania, shared his impressions of the victory.

Offsideplus.az reports that the member of our national Greco-Roman wrestling team noted that the ranking competition took place under conditions of intense competition:

“I want to thank everyone who supported me. It was a high-level tournament with very strong opponents. Personally, this competition was of great importance to me.

I had confident matches on the way to the final. In the decisive stage, I faced my teammate Sakit Quliyev. Although we are friends, we both gave our maximum effort on the mat for the victory. I believe the struggle was worthy of a final. This success is also the result of the hard work of the coaching staff and our entire team. Winning my first medal in ranking tournaments gives me a special sense of pride. I believe our success will be continuous.”
