Yashar Najafov claims the fame in Baku
Yashar Najafov surprised with a thrilling gold medal today at home at the Grand Slam of Baku. The Azeri did not tremble against a determined Vieru in the semi final and offered himself a place in the final, although at the start of the competition, he was not one of the favourites. In IJF's golden score he was still impressed by his own final. He had no plan for the day and was susprised about his performance. His hero is Elchin Ismayilov who is now the coach who supported his career along the way to gold. His next goal is the European Championships in Montpellier in November.
