AZERBAIJAN DOOR WILL OPEN IN KONYA
Licensed swimmer Sinan Çalar, who lives in Mersin and has been swimming since the age of 9, said, “I was successful in winning many medals and trophies during the process. Each medal and cup has its own value. I am 41 years old and I still love swimming. I participated in intercontinental swimming races 6 times. I’m thinking of attending again this year. I want to be an example to young people with my yachts. We have the opportunity to do sports at every age. I participated in many marathons, countrywide and national races and received degrees. My goal is to participate in the Swimming Races for All to be held in Azerbaijan in May and win a medal. “Of course, for this reason, I want to get the Azerbaijani quota for the Konya coast first,” he said.
