Hi, I am Yakub Azimov
“I’m a determined and self-disciplined young athlete with a big imagination and a love for problem-solving. Ever since I was little, I’ve dreamed of becoming an Olympian, and every day I work hard to make that dream a reality. Sport is my greatest passion, but I also enjoy good food, a good laugh, and making people smile — especially my family and siblings. My curiosity drives me to learn as much as I can, whether that’s improving my skills in sport, exploring subjects like maths and science, or discovering new things about the world around me. I’m excited about the future and determined to make the most of every opportunity, aiming not only to reach my full potential in sport but also to grow as a person. I believe that dedication, kindness, and a positive spirit will take me far — both on and off the field.”
