Baku – APA. “London Olympics will have a great role in Azerbaijani sport. This Olympics will differ in both number of sportsmen and strength”, Secretary General of the National Olympic Committee, vice-president of Box Federation Aghajan Abiyev told apasport.az website.

Experienced specialist especially noted that we left for London with strong staff: “Now there are many world and European champions and medalists in our Olympic team. We expect for medals from them. As regards the boxing, being represented in London Olympics with 8 sportsmen is success of our federation. There are world and European champions, and two silver medalists of the Mundial in our team. I consider that it will not be a big problem for our famous boxers to win medal in the Olympics. Surely, our boxers will gain medals in Olympic Games and we’ll see the type of medal in London.”

Abiyev also spoke about successes in other types of sport: “As a secretary general of the NOC, I can say that rowers, wrestlers, judomen had successful results in the worl and European championships. They prepared for Olympic Games very well. It seems to me that our sportsmen will reiterate that result in the Olympics. We have a little time, the results will be known in two weeks”.

According to him, the care of state and President Ilham Aliyev to our sportsmen will not be ineffective: “Our sportsmen will gladden Azerbaijani people with their results. In general, our sportsmen will gladden Azerbaijani sport lovers and people”.
