Judoka Armen Agayan, after winning the Russian Championship, in a conversation with , expressed confidence that in the future he could win these competitions for the third time.
The Russian FONBET judo championship began on Wednesday in Kemerovo. Aghayan won in the weight category up to 73 kg for the second time in his career. In the final he defeated Abubakar Isaev.
“It seems we haven’t encountered any difficulties here. » Is this so?
— A tournament is a tournament, but I was ready for it, honestly. For me, it’s an experience. I want international competitions, but since I need to show myself at the Russian Championship, then I do it.
— You won the Russian Championship for the second year in a row…
– It’s good. I won’t say the emotions are similar. Last year I was happy, now it’s easier, I won and won. Of course, I’m happy, there will be a third championship soon and so on, if they don’t let me participate in an international tournament.
— What do you think is your motivation?
— I haven’t wrestled anywhere for almost a year. I wanted not only to train, but also to succeed and win, to show what I am capable of. It’s difficult to train without competition. Do you think that’s just why I’m doing this? It’s hard to find motivation when there are no tournaments. I hope my problem with international competitions will be resolved and I will try my hand at it. I have only participated in the Grand Slam twice, once I finished second and another time seventh,” Aghayan told .
The Russian Judo Championship will end on October 1. Live broadcasts of the tournament can be viewed on Match Group television channels, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
