RUSTAM ORUJOV
Judo
«I was born in Irkutsk, Russia, on October 4, 1991. I went to school at number 11 in Russia. My father introduced me to judo and I started the sport at the age of seven. My first coach`s name was Alexander Andreevich. I was very ambitious. I lived with my family in Irkutsk until the age of 16, competing in numerous local tournaments. My family and I moved to Baku when I was 16 and I continued to practice at the Atilla Club whilst attending number 56 school. After graduating, as most sportsmen, I went to the Sports Academy.»
«My first international tournament was in September, 2007. It was the 1st Eurasian Cadet Sport Games in Brest, Belarus. I won a gold medal.»
