Farewell decision from Orkhan Safarov

Orkhan Safarov, the winner and prize-winner of numerous prestigious international tournaments, has decided to say goodbye to his sports career.

İdman.az reports that the Azerbaijan Judo Federation shared about this.

Orkhan Safarov was distinguished by his successful performances in the international arena and was always a favorite judoka of teenagers and young people. His main achievements include winning the silver medal at the 2017 World Championship and becoming the European champion in 2020.

"Every moment of judo was memorable for me, every tournament I won is important for me. Judo has taught me many things in life, mainly to be free on the tatami. No matter how much outside support there is, decisions are made in tatami alone, with no expectations or help. Judo is a life lesson. It teaches to solve problems in life independently, to be free and to win. Everything is in his hands!", Orkhan Safarov said, adding that judo has given him such qualities as purposefulness, motivation, discipline and self-confidence, and he will take these qualities with him to the next stages of his life.

O. Safarov intends to contribute and serve the development of Azerbaijani judo in the future.
If we look at Orkhan Safarov's sports career, he won a bronze medal at the World Championship among adults in 2013, and a silver medal in 2017. In 2015 and 2016, he won the silver medal of the European Championship, and in 2017, he won the bronze medal. In addition to winning 1 gold medal and 1 silver medal in the "Masters" tournament, he won a total of 15 medals in Grand Slam and Grand Prix competitions.

On behalf of the Azerbaijani judo family, we thank Orkhan Safarov for his sacrifice and the indelible mark he left in the history of judo of Azerbaijan, and we, as the Azerbaijani people, wish him success in his future activities!
