      - Navruz holiday reigns in our country, which fills hearts with excitement and gives new dreams and desires. On the eve of the New Year holidays, summing up the results achieved over the past period will help determine goals for the future. Last year was very successful for me. In May, I won 2 gold and 1 silver medals at the Youth World Weightlifting Championships in Heraklon and Greece and became the absolute world champion. At the Asian Youth and Youth Championships held in Tashkent in July, I won three gold medals and became the champion of Asia. In August, I won a bronze medal at the Islamic Solidarity Games held in Konya, Turkey. I also won a gold and two bronze medals at the Asian Senior Championships held in Manama, the capital of Bahrain, in October. At the end of the year, I took part in the Senior World Championships in Colombia. At the moment I am preparing for the Asian and World Championships among adults. I think that new successes will be added to their ranks by the next Navruz. I work hard for this. Taking this opportunity, I want to congratulate all my peers on Navruz. May the beginning of a new era lead to great victories.
