On January 15-16, the Kazakhstan Athletics Championship was held in Ust-Kamenogorsk.
This is the second start in which our athletes are competing this year. Having not had time to move away from the recently held Cup, the athletes again entered the arena in order to show high results and prepare for the upcoming Asian Championship in Tehran (February 1-3).
Elina Mikhina became one of the clear winners at her “crown” 400 m distance. Compared to the previous competition on January 10-11, the runner from Ridder still managed to run out of 54 seconds, while her rivals are lagging behind with a fairly decent time. Let’s see what happens next, but for now the improvements are clearly noticeable! The competition for our athlete was made up of the winner in the 200 m run Svetlana Golendova from Zhambyl region and Adelina Akhmetova from Karaganda.

The women’s high jump medalists included the “duo” from Semey, Nadezhda Dubovitskaya and Alexandra Krivitskaya, as well as an athlete from Almaty, Kristina Ovchinnikova. At the previous competitions, the girls arranged themselves in exactly the same order, but if the result of the Almaty jumper remained -165 cm, then our high-altitude figures became slightly lower. Dubovitskaya: it was 182 cm, it became 180 cm; Krivitskaya: it was 174, it became 170 cm. But nevertheless, no one can compete with these girls so far.

As we remember, at the Cup of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the 60 m running, unfortunately, Ustkamenogorsk athlete Oryngul Zkrienova failed to win a prize, it was all the fault of the barrier, which the girl accidentally “hooked” during the final, and eventually finished fifth – 9.17 s. Five days later, speaking at the championship, Zkrienova managed to improve her result – 8.97 s and bring a bronze medal for the East Kazakhstan Region national team.
