Emerging judo country Tajikistan delivers another world champion: Nurali Emomali
In the last category of the first day of the Junior World Championships, Tajikistan celebrated another World Champion in Nurali Emomali (TJK), who surprised everyone with refreshing judo, always offensive and gutsy. He became Tajikistan’s second ever World Junior Champion after Somon Makhmadbekov won the title in 2019. Enomali, with just a bronze medal to his name, from the Tashkent Junior Asian Cup 2022. Suffice it to say that if there was a surprise, it was to see Emomali at this level. In juniors and judo, everything is possible. The Uzbek Azizbek Ootikiv, reigning Asian junior champion, but without significant reference in the seniors, was the number one seed.
