However, our recent European champions lived up to expectations.

Turan Dashdamirov (51 kg) won the final match against Kyrgyzstan’s Kutman Kalbayev with a score of 5:3, becoming a world champion for the second time. Thus, Dashdamirov achieved maximum results in the U-17 age group, becoming a 2-time European and 2-time world champion within 2 years. It is also worth noting that Turan was the U-15 European champion in 2022.

Ayxan Javadov (60 kg) also triumphed in the final, defeating Georgia’s Vakhtang Loluaya with a score of 4:1, claiming the top spot on the podium. Javadov had also won the continental championship this year.
