Baku. Ramil Mammadli – APA. Azerbaijani judoka, Olympic Champion Elnur Mammadli is expected to be a flag-bearer of 2012 Azerbaijani Olympic Team for London Olympics, said Minister of Youth and Sports Azad Rahimov, APA reports.

“There is a belief among the sportsmen that a flag-bearer never wins a medal. That’s why it was difficult to make a choice among the sportsmen. Elnur Mammadli said that he felt sure of himself. That’s why he is expected to be a flag-bearer”, - the minister said.

Rahimov noted that the last decision wasn’t passed on it and said that he suggested Olympic Champion Farid Mansurov, who is engaged in coaching, to be a flag-bearer.

Elnur Mammadli is a winner of 2008 Beijing Olympics and double European Champion.
