The 26-aged lost chance for medal at the last moment in the 29th Games.
â€œI encountered US fighter Steven Lopez in bronze medal bout. We beat each other several times at the end of the fight. His kick met my hand and I beat him on the chest. The judges could have given points to both of us but it was the opponent who received pointsâ€, he said.
Ahmadov noted that he had prepared for the Olympics very carefully. The fighter felt sorry for the second failure in Summer Olympic Games. Ahmedov, ranked 5th, said he doesnâ€™t consider himself less qualified than two-time Olympic champions Hamid Saei (Iran) and Steven Lopez who had deprived him of Olympic medal. He thinks he just lacked luck to score a medal. Ahmedov added that he is going to make final decision about his future career after a rest.
