“Arnold Classic Europe is the most spectacular competition among bodybuilding sports. Athletes must first obtain a license as European and world champion to participate in this competition.”
This was stated by Namig Jafarov, world and European weightlifting champion, in an interview with Baku TV.
He said that he was the first Azerbaijani to become absolute champion in this competition.
“I have been participating in various competitions for more than 20 years. I was psychologically completely prepared to participate in the “Arnold Classic Europe”. This caused a wound in my stomach.”
N. Jafarov said that he wanted to end his career: “The biggest support for me in the race came from my family. When I looked into my son’s eyes, I thought that I should win this race, and I was lucky to win the race with the one every athlete dreams of. Three weeks later, the world championship will be held in Moscow and this will be my last race.
