Anzhela Dorogan has revealed her delight about clinching the gold medal for Azerbaijan in the women's 53kg freestyle wrestling.

The 25-year-old overcame Poland's Roksana Zasina in the final by a 3-1 margin to secure her triumph at the European Games.

She told reporters: "This is my first victory in a big tournament, in my hometown, at the European Games. It's crazy, I can't believe it.

"I have won silver and bronze before, but only in smaller tournaments and Grand Prix. I never expected to win, and every fight was tough. The final was the hardest and I still can't believe I have won."

Dorogan's win was Azerbaijan's eighth gold medal of the Games.
