"Lasha Talakhadze, a two-time Olympic champion among heavyweight athletes, knows me very well."
This was said by Dadash Dadashbeyli (109 kg), the weightlifter of the Azerbaijan national team, who was a guest of the Idman Bizde program.
The winner of the last European Championship held in Bulgaria will change his weight. Dadashbeyli said that the legendary Georgian weightlifter Lasha Talakhadze wants to see him at +109 kg: "He always tells me that it's time to come to heavyweight. It's time. He also said in the last competition that you're late. Because I'm tall, it's up to me to move to heavyweight. It's already we are working, I also have my own desire. My only goal is not the Olympic Games, I want to be a useful athlete for our people and nation. I will participate in many competitions in heavy weight as well."
The 27-year-old athlete also said that he will perform at +109 kg at the World Cup to be held in Thailand: "The World Cup is the last license-type competition. All the strong will be there. Everyone thinks that Dadash will perform there at 109 kg. I will be a heavyweight in that competition. I don't want to compete in the final group either. The goals are completely different. I've already strengthened my nutrition. I'm training to increase my weight."
It should be noted that the World Cup will last from March 31 to April 11.
