Sambo wrestlers also entered the fray today at the 3rd CIS Games underway in Azerbaijan.
According to Idman.biz, the Azerbaijani team, coached by Yagub Abdullayev, is represented by eight sambists.
What can we expect from our team's performance? Will we be able to win gold, which we haven't yet achieved at the Games? Idman.biz addressed these questions to Jeyhun Mammadov, head of the Azerbaijan Sambo Federation:
"Our team, led by head coach Yagub Abdullayev, has been preparing purposefully and intensively for this tournament, so the guys will win medals—I have no doubt about that. Yes, the Russian sambists are the clear favorites in the tournament. "But we're also hoping for at least one gold medal," noted the renowned former Azerbaijani sambo wrestler.
