Two weeks remain prior to the judo championship of Europe in Budapest.
Team of Azerbaijan, having hardly returned from collecting in Berlin, announced structure which will go to the capital of Hungary. Our twelve athletes will fight there, and, the Olympic champion of Beijing Elnur Mamedli (81 kg) will pass the forthcoming start.
As transfers azerisport.com, in category to 60 kg Vugar Shirinli who successfully proved on the Grand Prix of Samsun is declared, having won a bronze medal. Whereas Ilgar Mushkiyev is restored after a trauma and will be compelled to pass a trip to Hungary to enter into standard. The factor of a trauma is actual and for weight to 66 kg where Tarlan Kerimov injured a shoulder because of what I didn't act on the last Grand Prix. While he restores health and isn't ready to speak at the European championship where two years ago I reached the ending. In Kerimov's absence Nidzhat Shikhalizada who despite bright wrestlig can't brag of stable results yet will try to prove.
Guseyn Ragimli who has in an asset bronze of the Continental Cup in Tbilisi will go to categories to 73 kg on the championship of Europe . In spite of the fact that recently Rustam Orudzhev was the first number, now the Olympian only gathers a form and will be ready later. Whereas for Ragimli the European championship becomes debut, and from that twice disturbing. Well and the place in Tural Safguliyev's national team (81 kg) has to mislead nobody. This year the judoist won the Continental Cup in Tbilisi, but on the subsequent starts of stability to it didn't suffice. However, steering team Peter Zayzenbakher considers that Tural is ready better, than Elnur Mamedli who tried forces only on the Grand Prix in Düsseldorf, having conceded already in the first fight.
At the same time, on two athletes it is declared in category to 90 kg. And it is easily explainable, after all between Shekhmad the correspondence competition for a place of the first number goes Magomedov and Shain Gekhramanov this year. Somewhere better Shekhmad winning on the Continental Cup in which ending overcame Gekhramanov looks. The last can refer to some extent to lot falsities which on one tournament reduced it with double world champion Ilias Iliadis, and the Grand Prix of Samsun – with vice-world champion Kirill Denisov from Russia.
In weight to 100 kg wrestling for medals of the championship of Europe will lead Elkhan Mamedov and Elmar Gasymov who has become second on the Grand Prix of Samsun. If it is able to show the same fight as in Turkey, it is capable to go far. Especially as last year for Euro in Chelyabinsk Elmar became the bronze prize-winner. However, and Elkhan has chances to cause a stir, after all he won in due time medals of continental superiority three times, and now tries to be approved in new weight. Well and in dispute of the supertyazhy Emil Tairov (+100 kg) is declared.
As for female offset, for the first time in a new Olympic cycle Kifayat Gasymova (57 kg), for certain missed big tournaments debuts. Also in Budapest will try the forces Aisha Gurbanla (48 kg) and Turana Seidi (52 kg).
