“I am very happy to have become an Olympic champion.”
As reported by İdman.biz, Hidayat Heydarov (73 kg), who won a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, told journalists at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport.
He said that he did not watch his fights in the French capital afterwards, but he saw episodes on video:
“I was so shocked that I could not even rejoice from the bottom of my heart. The first to congratulate me were Mr. President Ilham Aliyev and the first lady of the country Mehriban Aliyeva. I thank our federation for creating all the conditions for me. I am grateful to everyone who congratulated me, to my people. What I experienced was incredible. Elnur Mammadli witnessed how I became hand in hand the European champion, the world champion and, finally, the Olympic champion. After that, our next goal is the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028. We also have a number of championships ahead of us. After a short break, I will return to the arenas. I want to become an Olympic champion for the second time.”
It should be noted that Hidayat Heydarov won the title of Olympic champion after defeating Frenchman Joan-Benjamin Gaba in the final.
