Nenad Lalovic praised Azerbaijan’s sporting achievements on the international arena, linking it to the high level conditions created for their training. He said that the Azerbaijani wrestlers are lucky in this regard.
“As the United World Wrestling we are pleased to see such a training base of the Azerbaijan Wrestling Federation. Azerbaijan is a country with deep-rooted wrestling traditions. There is a great interest in sports, particularly in wrestling in the country. We highly appreciate the position of the Azerbaijani Wrestling Federation in the UWW. The fact that Azerbaijani wrestlers always win high awards in the international tournaments is due to the conditions created by the leadership of the country and the Federation,” Lalovic added.
