Khetag Gazyumov assesses the Goygol training camp

January 22, 2026

The training camp of the national freestyle wrestling team in Goygol is ongoing.

During the preparation process, which will conclude on January 31, greater emphasis is being placed on physical training. Head coach Khetag Gazyumov shared his views on the progress of the camp and other related matters:

“We are preparing in a planned manner for our first competitive start of the season — the ranking tournament to be held in Albania. We are holding a training camp in Goygol, where our main focus is on strength and functional preparation. At the same time, we are also incorporating technical and tactical training.

The goal of this camp is to improve strength indicators, functional readiness, and endurance. Of course, we also aim to carry out our tactical tasks and observe and study our opponents so that we know how and against whom we will compete in the future.

It is still too early to talk about the team’s current condition, because the Azerbaijan Championship was held recently. Our federation organized tests, we passed those tests, and the athletes’ physical condition was assessed. We are gradually involving the wrestlers in the preparation process so that they can perform at a high level in the future.

Two training camps are planned ahead of the ranking tournament in Albania. As I mentioned earlier, the first camp is mainly focused on strength and functional preparation. In addition, we will hold a camp in Baku dedicated to technical and tactical training.”
