“Murad Mammadov has a high chance of reaching the final and winning a medal.”
Taleh Mammadov, former Greco-Roman wrestler of the Azerbaijan national team, told Idman.biz.
He assessed the chances of our Greco-Roman wrestlers Murad Mammadov (63 kg) and Sabah Shariati (130 kg), who will start fighting at the Paris-2024 Summer Olympic Games today: “Murad will probably meet Chinese Cao Liquo after defeating Venezuelan Rayber Jose Rodriguez Orozco. . Our wrestler should easily win against his Asian opponent. The semi-final match may be a bit difficult for him. But Mammadov will write his name in the final.”
The veteran wrestler believes that Sabah Shariati will also win a medal: “He will face the experienced, 39-year-old Estonian Heiki Nabi in the first match. Unless something unexpected happens, Sharia must defeat him. Athletes from Kazakhstan and Romania follow. Looking at it like this, our representative should advance to the semi-finals. But at this stage, he will most likely face a wrestler from Cuba or Iran. This meeting will be very difficult. If he loses in the semi-finals, the match for bronze will be difficult. Tomorrow, he can be 5th in this competition, and if he defeats his opponent from Cuba or Iran, he can become the champion. Because all the strong are in the group where Saba is included.”
It should be noted that Murad Mammadov will face Rayber Jose Rodríguez Orozco (Venezuela) in the 1/8 finals, and Sabah Shariati will face Heiki Nabi (Estonia) at the same stage. The race will start at 17:00 Baku time.
