The winner of youth European judo championship in Yerevan – Elmar Gasimov (100 kg) gave an interview to azerisport.com after his return to Baku. Congratulates!
Thank you! I am glad to make Azerbaijan happy. Our country deserved more victories. I though only about golden medal. Our main task was to do our best to sound Azerbaijan anthem.
You hold five fights. When you felt you will win this championship?
When I went to Yerevan I gave the word to my parents to gain golden medal. Everybody believed in us. The opponent didn’t have any chances.
Ilgar and Ramin also had a chance to win but unfortunately couldn’t. I was last hope for our team. I should win for the sake of Azerbaijan.
What did you feel when anthem was sound?
I was so proud! It was the best day in my life.
Do you want to devote this victory to somebody?
I devote this victory to fallen in Karabakh. We fought for the sake of everybody. We proved that we can do it.
