The RK Cup competition was held in three stages, which made it the most unpredictable and exciting. The list of participants in the final test was not complete without athletes from East Kazakhstan region, who took prizes in the final protocols.
After the winter season, one of the fastest athletes in the country Andrei Sokolov, who previously played for Almaty, now defends the honor of East Kazakhstan. Everyone has long been accustomed to the fact that there are “kings” at the 400 m distance – members of the Altay Athletics professional club Mikhail Litvin and Elina Mikhina. As expected, Litvin took his native first place with a score of 46.5 seconds, overtaking our athlete by a little more than 1 second (47.8 seconds), leaving him in third place. A bronze medal in the national team’s piggy bank from Sokolov!
Elina generally made a revolution in the minds of many athletics fans, forcing them to think that perhaps she would seriously engage in a change of discipline and start competing at a distance of half as much. As it turned out, these are just rumors. But nevertheless, as they say: “A talented person is talented in everything or in all kinds of athletics.” In the 200 m, the Ridder runner became the best with a score of 23.4 s. But apparently there were no plans to leave only one trace in shorter distances, so the athlete decided to make a double shot and performed at the 100-meter, where she did it brilliantly. Two “gold” from Mikhina – is it not a joy?
As soon as Elina changed the look in which she will perform, she was replaced by the younger generation of East Kazakhstan Region Ekaterina Efremova, who confidently follows in the footsteps of her countryman. In the 400 m, Efremova took first place with a score of 56.8 seconds, followed by Adelina Akhmetova from Karaganda and Umida Sabyrova from Almaty.
The harvest of awards at the third stage of the Cup of the Republic of Kazakhstan was full for the girls, as they won two more medals, gold and silver for their team in the high jump Nadezhda Dubovitskaya and Alexandra Krivitskaya. Both girls are from Semey, and both girls are the main competitors for each other. Those who carefully watched their performances from the stands, or simply watched the results, will not be deceived. Most often, Nadezhda was lucky, and this time is no exception. 185 cm vs. 175 cm.
Alone, as at the 2nd stage, the record holder of Kazakhstan in javelin throwing Varvara Nazarova performed. Can we compare it with the previous result? It was – 40.98 m; It became – 43.15 m.
