"As for the women’s team, I am also pleased to see them among the medalists. This demonstrates that the younger generation of girls is showing strong interest in wrestling," President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said on April 30 while receiving Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestlers who became European champions in the team standings at the European Championships held in Tirana, the capital of Albania, as well as medal-winning athletes in women's wrestling and their coaches, APA reports.
"I am confident that gold medals will also come for the women in the future; I have no doubt about it. There could have been even more medals—some were unfortunate, and perhaps there were mistakes—but it is important that all disciplines—freestyle, Greco-Roman, and women’s wrestling—are developing in Azerbaijan," the head of state noted.
