Turkmen wrestler Charymyrat Annagurbanov (+92kg) took the 2nd place at the VIII Combat Ju-Jutsu World Championship, which takes place in Ostrava, Czech Republic. The athlete won the first fight relatively easily, and he overcame a rival from Kazakhstan without any special effort. The next fights were difficult, but well prepared and strong-willed Charymyrat prevailed over his opponents and deserved the silver medal. The VIII Combat Ju-Jutsu World Championship gathered more than 300 athletes from 17 countries. At the World Championship, the team comprising of six athletes and four coaches represented Turkmenistan.Myahrijemal TUVAKOVA
As to his sports career, Annagurbanov told that, he had started playing sports at the age of eight. On the advice of his father, he chose two spiritually close sports – combat sambo and ju-jutsu.
This silver medal is the second that Turkmen wrestler earned at the world championships. In 2016, Charymyrat won the first silver at the VII Combat Ju-Jutsu World Championship in Croatia.
However, the 25-year-old wrestler has further plans. He dreams of successfully performing at the world biggest competitions, where he would run by the admiring stands, holding the Turkmen flag in his hands, as it was at the V Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games, where he won the gold medal in combat sambo.
