With the support of my coaches, I have been striving for many years to represent my country in the best possible way. Last week in İzmir, I became the first male athlete from Konya to surpass the Olympic qualification standard. Now, I am preparing for the World Cup to be held in Baku. We have a chance to win a medal, and I will do my very best to represent my country in the best possible way there.”
