Ukraine's Irina Kadzerskaya brought the first medal to Azerbaijan in Tokyo
Baku/31.07.21/Turan: Finally, Azerbaijan won the first medal at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. On July 30, the Ukrainian legionnaire Irina Kadzerskaya, who competes in the weight category over 78 kilo, won the bronze medal at the women's judo competition.
Another medal won legionnaire, boxer Alfonso Dominguez (81 kg), who reached the semifinals, which guarantees at least a bronze medal.
The Azerbaijani team is represented in Tokyo by 44 athletes, including 19 naturalized (legionnaires) in 13 sports. 23 of them have already completed their performances.
Particular hopes were pinned on judokas, boxers, taekwondo.
However, in these sports, the Azerbaijani Olympians failed and, as a result, they have to be content with one medal each in judo and boxing.
Among the victims of bad luck were the silver medalist of the previous Olympics Rustam Orudjov (judo), bronze medalists Lorenzo Sotomayor (boxing) and Milad Beigi Harchegani (taekwondo).
In the remaining period, wrestlers can replenish the medal box of the Azerbaijani team at the games in Tokyo.
Great hopes are for the winners of the previous Olympiad Sharif Sharifov, Maria Stadnik and Haji Aliyev.
Our karate fighters also have chances, in particular Rafael Agayev and Irina Zaretskaya. Karate is included in the program of the Olympic Games for the first time.
In better case, we can count on a medal in rhythmic gymnastics.
However, it is already clear that there will be significantly fewer medals than at the previous games in Rio, when there were 18 awards.
In general, since 1996 - the beginning of Azerbaijan's performances at the Olympiads, the country has been increasing the indicators for the won medals with each games. In 1996, Atlanta had one silver medal.
After 4 years in Sydney, Azerbaijan had 2 gold and 1 bronze medals.
In 2004, there were already one gold and four bronze medals in Athens.
In 2008, in Beijing, Azerbaijan had six medals, including one gold, one silver and 4 bronze.
