Vugar Shirinli secures second judo gold for Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan secured a second gold of the afternoon courtesy of Vugar Shirinli. Azerbaijan captured seven Paralympic gold medals since the first in 2004 by Ilham Zakiyev. Shirinli and his opponent Anuar Sariyev of Kazakhstan both held their breath for ippon at various points throughout their match. But it was Shirinli who in the end was rewarded for his efforts with the gold.
