Somon Tursunzoda, a young Tajik athlete and a trainee of the “Somon Judo Club” and “Hojii Sharif,” achieved a commendable result at the open international judo tournament “Unity Cup,” held in Kazan, Russian Federation.
Somon, by defeating six strong opponents in consecutive rounds, managed to reach the final and ultimately, by demonstrating high skill and serious preparation, became the gold medalist of the tournament.
We hope that, following Somon’s example, Mahmadbekov and other athletes of the country will also raise the flag of Tajikistan at international competitions, and thanks to him, the National Anthem of the Republic of Tajikistan will be heard.
