International athletics competitions of the Central Asian teams among juniors and senior boys were held in Almaty. However, the tournament did not turn out to be very representative. Only three states delegated their athletes to the southern capital.
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan were represented at the competitions in Almaty by their athletes. However, there were so few guests that they had no chance to compete for the first team place. However, of course, no one except our athletes prevented them from winning individual awards.
17 athletes from East Kazakhstan region took part in the competition, who won a total of four gold, the same number of silver and two bronze medals. Competitions in the high jump sector have become the most successful for athletes of East Kazakhstan region. Here, our delegates managed to win three medals of each merit at once. Nadezhda Dubovitskaya from Semey showed an outstanding height for herself here – 185 cm, showing the best personal result of the season! The second place was also taken by the representative of East Kazakhstan Region Elizaveta Matveeva from Ust-Kamenogorsk. She lost 20 cm to the champion, however, it is worth considering that Matveeva is three years younger than Dubovitskaya! The bronze medal went to another representative of Semey, Sergey Olenich. This young and promising athlete fought with opponents who were at least two years older than him and, nevertheless, managed to win a place on the podium, sitting on the third step. Sergey’s final result is a very promising 190 cm!
Regina Mitrofanova from Ridder won the largest number of medals for our region. The styling school of this town continues to churn out promising athletes like on an assembly line. So Regina was able to become the owner of two silver medals at once, played in Almaty at distances of 1500 m and 800 m.
The very first victory for our region was won by Anastasia Zavodina, who showed another great result in the long jump. In her best attempt, the Ust-Kamenogorsk athlete “flew away” by 5.89 m! The competitors were left far behind. Even the second place Ksenia Zelentsova Zavodina won more than 20 cm!
Svetlana Malezhina from Ust-Kamenogorsk ran the fastest 100 m hurdles. Our compatriot spent only 15.13 seconds on this distance! Erica Kem also won the shot put tournament. In the best approach, she sent a projectile to 11.23 m.
The silver medals of the East Kazakhstan Region team were won by Ekaterina Efremova’s performance in the 400 m, and another bronze medal went to Arina Saifullina in the 800 m. Both athletes represent Ust-Kamenogorsk.
