Azerbaijan, Baku / Тrend corr Z. Safarov / A meeting ceremony between the Azerbaijan national Greco-Roman, free, and woman wrestling teams, which won four medals in the championship in Beijing, was held at the Youth & Sports Ministry.

Taking fifth place in team testing, the wrestlers added a new bright page to Azerbaijan's wrestling history, the Deputy Youth & Sports Minister, Ismayil Ismayilov, said. "This success is especially significant on the threshold of the Baku World Championship. Though many of you will not be able to take part in the championship due to age criteria, you will make up the backbone of the team in its securing spots in the London Games in 2012," Ismayilov said.

The successes of Azerbaijani wrestlers gained this year will be certainly appreciated, he said.
