Shouldn't that read Azerbaijan WINS?
Because Russia drew and Az won, they're now leading the Etc.
they WON
Congratulations to Azeri team!
Azeri women's team finished 4th (sharing the same number of points with Ukraine). This is much better result than men's team given that Azeri women's team was ranked 20th before the tournament!
They are leading. There will be another round to give Russia a playing chance.
I think this is just beginning for Azerbaijan. Their players have matured and are coming in their best years. And their advantage is that that they have been playing together in a team since their childhood.

(Mamedov, Gashimov, Radjabov, Guseinov)
I think they will scoop more medals in the next decade.
This was just a beginning.
