"Azerbaijan made a very successful performance at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games."
Zemfira Meftahatdinova, vice-president of the National Olympic Committee, told Idman.biz.
She evaluated the performance of the Azerbaijani national team at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games. Meftahatdinova, who is also the vice-president of the Azerbaijan Shooting Federation, said that winning 2 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze medals in France is a great result: "This fact suggests that our national team did a great job. We are proud of every athlete who participated there. All athletes going to the Olympics want to perform well. We had very promising and experienced athletes in our team. Each of them prepared for this competition with great responsibility. But this is a sport. Anything can happen in sports. Therefore, it may not be received for any reason. "Everyone goes to the Olympics focused on a gold medal."
According to him, the injuries of athletes in some decisive matches disappointed him: "Our taekwondo player Gashim Magomedov (58 kg) faced this situation in the final. Because if this situation had not happened, he would have won a gold medal. Injuries are common in sports. Perhaps, if such cases had not happened, the number of medals would have increased. Our boxer Alfonso Dominguez (92 kg) performed worthy of gold. Also, our judokas gave us the joy of gold with a determined fight. Our artistic gymnasts also performed very well and won a good result. I was disappointed that Haji Aliyev (65 kg) and Maria Stadnik (50 kg) did not win medals in wrestling. Despite these, the raising of our flag and the singing of our national anthem in France is a great event."
Azerbaijan team took the 30th place in the overall medal ranking and set a new record in Olympic history.
