The team is supported by seven experienced specialists: Meret Sahetmyradov, Azat Gorganov, Ahmet Saryyev, Guvanch Sahydov, Bayram Geldiyev, Gurbandurdy Amanov and Zair Huseynov. All of them play an important role in the organization of the training process, which is aimed at achieving high results at the World Championship.

The main start of the year for the Turkmen weightlifters is the 89th World Weightlifting Championship, which will be held from 4 to 14 December in Manama (Bahrain).
