NAZIM BABAYEV
Athletics
«I was born in Baku on October 8, 1997. I started training at the age of six. Although I had to suspend training for some time, my coach persuaded me to return to the sport. My grandfather used to accompany me to my training sessions and patiently waited for me to finish.»
«I undertook intensive training with my coach. Some time later I had to choose a specific type of sport, I chose triple jump. Until class nine, I trained at an amateur level. I did not think about a professional career in the sport but I ended up winning a silver medal at the Asian Games when I was 15 years old. Considering my age and skills at the time, it was quite a good result. In time, my performance improved.»
