"These are incredible emotions - I'm back on the tatami."
Idman.biz reports that Irina Zaretska (68 kg), the leader of the Azerbaijani women's karate team, wrote this on her social media account.
The athlete shared her impressions after returning to the competitions. Zaretska performed for the first time at the Premier League stage in Cairo after a long break due to maternity leave. She was unable to become one of the tournament's prize-winners: "I returned to sports and tested my strength after a year and a half break. Yes, this time I couldn't get out of the group and fight for medals, but believe me, this is just the beginning. Thank you all for your support."
