Rafael Aghayev

He took up the sport at age 10. (wkf.net, 09 Sep 2018)

"When I was young I had too much energy, I couldn't stop playing around. I also liked Spiderman [fictional superhero] too much so I always jumped around. After getting some wounds and some things were broken, my parents decided to take me to the sports hall to do karate. My parents didn't know anything about karate but after four months, my sensei said that I would be a good talent if I continue, so my parents supported me."

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (Facebook profile, 19 Mar 2020; wkf.net, 09 Sep 2018)
