Heydar Aliyev Cup Begins To Boost Alpine Skiing Talent In Azerbaijan
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
Our main goal in organizing this tournament is to develop and
ensure the sustainability of alpine skiing in Azerbaijan.
Azernews reports that this was stated by Kenan
Guluzade, a representative of the Winter Sports Federation, in an
interview with journalists about the Heydar Aliyev Cup, which began
today for amateur skiers.
Guluzade emphasized that the federation's key strategy is to
reduce the reliance on foreign athletes and create a team made up
of local talent. "The work we've done in this direction is already
showing results. Local skiers represented Azerbaijan at the World
Cup in Shahdag, and each one has high potential. Some amateur
athletes in this tournament will be selected for the national
team," he added.
He also highlighted plans to expand collaboration with the
International Alpine Ski Federation and to host more local and
international competitions in the future.
This year's Heydar Aliyev Cup features 50 children across
various age categories, all vying for first place.
