Kamal Haji-Kurbanovich Khan-Magomedov (Russian: Камал Гаджи-Курба́нович Хан-Магомедов; born 17 June 1986 in Derbent, Dagestan, Russia) is a Russian judoka.[1] of Tabasaran descent.

Career

During his early career, he trained at Derbent Sports School No.3 under Sadiq Abdulov. Khan-Magomedov's introduction to the sport of judo was indirect, thinking it was karate: "In our city we did not know what judo was, we were thinking that it was karate, so we went to karate, but it was judo."[2]

Khan-Magomedov won silver in -66 kg at the 2013 European Judo Championships after being defeated by 2012 Olympics Champion Lasha Shavdatuashvili of Georgia. He then won bronze in the -66 kg final category at the 2014 World Judo Championships.

Khan-Magomedov won gold in -66 kg at the inaugural 2015 European Games defeating Frenchman Loïc Korval in the finals held in Baku, Azerbaijan.[3]

He plans to set up a business after completing his career.
