Toghrul Asgarov

Azerbaijani wrestler

In the history of wrestling, Toghrul Asgarov is one of the names the record keeps returning to.

The record lists Toghrul Asgarov as Azerbaijani wrestler.

Toghrul Asgarov was born at Ganja in 1992. His recorded nationality is Azerbaijan.

Modern sport is measured to the hundredth of a second, watched globally and supported by full-time coaching, medicine and analytics.

He competed at wrestling at the 2012 Summer Olympics – men's freestyle 60 kg and wrestling at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

In sport the margin between the remembered and the forgotten is often a fraction of a second.

His record includes the Shohrat Order, 2nd degree "For Service to the Fatherland" order and 3rd degree "For Service to the Fatherland" order.

That the career was built from Azerbaijan matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.

Toghrul Asgarov is still competing or recently retired, and the final placing in the sport's history is not yet settled.
