The program included throwing disciplines: javelin, discus and hammer. It’s no secret that the East Kazakhstan region is famous for the most productive athletes in these types of athletics.
Hammer throwing competitions were held yesterday afternoon, where Anastasia Kaloshina, one of the strongest throwers in Kazakhstan, took part. The girl has fulfilled the standard that will allow her to participate in the Asian Qualification Championship for selection for the Youth Olympic Games. Next to her, at the competition, was the athlete’s personal trainer Pavel Ivanovich Kukin, who shared what was happening in Almaty.
– We are pleased with our result. Pavel Kukin commented on the performance. – Actually, we were already ready for it. Nastya had already shown similar results in training, but the main thing was to perform them during the competition.
Despite the fact that there is not so much competitive practice, it is not always possible to give such a result, but nevertheless it turned out to show similar ones. In April, at the East Kazakhstan Region championship on April 20-21, Kaloshina showed a result of 55.55 m, at these – 55.25 m. Even it is very difficult to mentally tune in to the start, but this time the athlete quickly pulled herself together, and the throwing sector in Almaty is very convenient, which cannot be said about Shymkent, from where athletes have recently arrived.
– Competitive practice is bearing fruit, – Pavel noted. – We have already scattered, we are used to competitive stress, and Nastya finds it easier to get ready for the start every time. This time she felt most comfortable, from the initial attempt to the very end she added results. The experience comes. We manage to implement it the way we planned it.
According to the coach, such a good result is not the limit, but there are certain points of technique that need to be worked hard on, bringing them to perfection. The preparation continues, the athlete is physically ready, only work on the technique remains.
Anastasia’s next start is scheduled for early July in Bangkok – the Asian Qualifying Championship.
On the same day, he was able to win two prizes Dmitry Lukichev.
