Tarasov is the champion
On December 15, Ust-Kamenogorsk hosted the city’s open athletics championship. Competitions among boys and girls born in 2002-2003, 2004 and younger were held within the walls of the athletics arena. The start program consisted of eleven disciplines: 60 m running, 300 m running, 600 m running, 1000 m running, 60 m hurdles running, 4 200 m relay running, high jump, long jump, pole vault, triple jump and shot put. Among the participants of the competition, it was impossible not to notice Efim Tarasov, a participant in the Youth Olympic Games 2018. Recall that the UOI was held in October this year in the capital of Argentina. Our athlete then showed a decent result at the 400 m distance and managed to get on the list of finalists for the main start of the outgoing year. Tarasov’s personal result is 48.93 s. At the Ust-Kamenogorsk Championship, Efim took part in the 300 m run, and finished first with a score of 35.18 s. After the start, the athlete shared his emotions and told a little about his plans for the near future. – Efim, you competed in the 300 m race at the competitions, since there was no 400-meter race in the program. The result is at the level of 35.18 s – are you satisfied with the result? – Yes, I am happy with the result. This competition was more like a training session (smiles). Now I have fully recovered from Argentina and am preparing for the start in Novosibirsk, which will take place at the end of December. In January, a tournament for the prizes of Olga Rypakova awaits, a little later preparations for “Asia”, well, and further down the list According to the list, these words are relevant in the near future, because the winter competition season is ahead of the athletes, and 2019 promises to be very eventful!

Elizaveta Matveeva: “When you see the coach’s satisfied eyes, you realize that everything is not in vain”
On January 29, the Martial Arts Palace hosted an event within the framework of “Jastar Qazaqstan 2019”, where the works of young talents in various fields of activity were noted. This ceremony was not complete without the participation of our athletes. Read more in our material. This year has been officially declared the “Year of Youth”, the decree was signed by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev himself. So, in Ust-Kamenogorsk, a whole celebration dedicated to a new and bright event was organized, where the works of the younger generation, namely those who made a significant contribution to the life of our country, were celebrated. One of the honored guests of the ceremony was Olympic champion Olga Rypakova. – I wish you health, happiness, and be sure to exercise. – our athlete addressed all the residents of Kazakhstan in one of the interviews. – It is sport that helps you achieve all your goals and stay on the right path! During the event, Olga Sergeevna awarded Elizaveta Matveeva, a high-rise athlete, a member of the Altay Athletics Club, for the girl’s effective performances. “The best athlete of 2018 in East Kazakhstan Region in athletics” – this is exactly how the nomination of our Ustkamenogorsk jumper sounds. – My coach Lyudmila Valentinovna Peshko told me that they want to reward me. It was very pleasant for me, at these moments you realize that your work is appreciated. When you see the satisfied eyes of your coach, the pride in them, you are very happy. My merits are also hers, because she put so much effort and patience into me. And of course, I’m still impressed, because Olga Rypakova herself awarded me! – tells Elizabeth.

Such meetings are a great motivation for young people, because the main thing is that in our country there is someone to take an example from!

Tarasov’s performances or a golden streak
On February 8-10, the Kazakhstan Athletics Championship among senior boys and girls was held The series of athletics starts in Ust-Kamenogorsk continues. According to the results of the competition, the East Kazakhstan region became the third in the team standings (24,209 points), losing to the teams from Karaganda region (26,707 points) and Almaty (25,620 points). Efim Tarasov distinguished himself with a brilliant performance at the championship. For several years now, the Nakhodka athlete has been doing what he shows spectacular wrestling at the Ust-Kamenogorsk arena. In three days, the young man won as many as four gold medals. About this in more detail. On the very first day of the competition, Tarasov was pleased with his performance in the 400 m run. Efim finished with a decent margin from his nearest opponent, more than 3 seconds, won his own time in the final race, and also became the only one who managed to run out of 49 seconds and show a result at the level of the CMC. On the second day, the distance was half as long, the East Kazakhstan runner was pleased with the gold medal again. The status of the strongest was confirmed, the time shown was again at the level of the candidate for master of sports and the first step of the podium with a result of 22.20 seconds. The other two “golds” were won in team wrestling, namely in the 4 x 200 m relay races and the mixed relay race at the same distance. The athlete himself is pleased with the performance. – I am satisfied with the performance. Efim shares. – Everything happened as planned. It turned out to win and it cannot but please (smiles – approx.the author). In the relay races, I asked the team to work as much as possible and not bring a strong gap, well, then it was up to me. According to the plans, I have a recovery, and after that I will start preparing for the Asian championship! By the way, plus another medal in the East Kazakhstan Region’s piggy bank from the relay team, but only 4 to 400 meters, without Tarasov’s participation and a prize-winning second place. The women’s national team for 4 to 200 also made a far from easy impression on the audience, and justified the expectation of all those who sincerely supported the participants. The first place was not easy, but it’s not for nothing that this kind of athletics is usually watched in one go. The composition of relay teams: Young men: 4×200 m . (1st place) – Andrey Ignatikov, Efim Tarasov, Ernur Sovetkhanov, Vladislav Nurek. (1:35.70) 4×400 m (2nd place) – Andrey Ignatikov, Ernur Sovetkhanov, Yakov Lavrentiev, Ulan Baurzhanuly. MIX: 4×200 m . (1st place) – Efim Tarasov, Ernur Sovetkhanov, Ayim Kaysanova, Sofia Bezverkhova. (1:39.49) Girls: 4×200 m . (1st place) – Ayim Kaysanova, Sofia Bezverkhova, Valeria Bromat, Anastasia Rypakova (1:46.61) Andrey Ignatikov collected awards of all three types during the championship, gold and silver in relay races with his friends, but he won the bronze medal on his own in the 60 m hurdles with a score of 8.67 s. Nikita Evdokimov managed to get on the list of medalists at the average distances of 1500 m and 3000 m. The athlete won bronze and silver medals. Nikita’s obvious rival was Azat Ramazanov from the North Kazakhstan region. Although, in the 1500 m run, the Almaty runner Ruslan Naumov turned out to be faster than the guys. It was he who set the rhythm for the participants from eastern and northern Kazakhstan, running in 4:07.77 he became the first. Since there is not as much competition in pole vaulting as in other jumping athletics, it is sometimes possible to predict the outcome of the competition there. This does not always happen, although if you look at the number of participants, as this time, it could be ironically emphasized that no one will remain without a reward. Four participants, the youngest of them does not “take” a three-meter height, automatically yielding to his opponent. The representative of East Kazakhstan Region, Elnur Zhumabekov, came second with a result of 3.90 m. Even at the previous height, a struggle broke out between Elnur and Danil Artemyev from the Karaganda region. The fate of the guys was decided by the last third attempt at 3.80 m. Artemyev conceded to Zhumabekov, who in turn overcame the bar even higher. That’s where I stopped. Ayim Kaysanova managed to climb the podium several times among the girls. Despite the merits of the girl in relay performances, the girl also showed good results in personal competitions. In the 400 m, the athlete became the third – 59.64 m. The middle distances this time really turned out to be very profitable for medals. Two “gold” from Arina Gladysheva. This Ridder hardy athlete has done a great job for her field. Inna Semenyak
Elizaveta Matveeva – Master of Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan
On February 15, the Kazakhstan Junior Athletics Championship started at the Olga Rypakova Athletics Center. The very first day of the competition turned out to be very joyful and generous with events. Ustkamenogorsk athlete Elizaveta Matveeva fulfilled the standard of the Master of Sports in athletics in high jump. We sincerely congratulate the jumper and her coach Lyudmila Valentinovna Peshko with an excellent result! In fact, today was a really important day, especially in the girls’ high jump sector. In addition to the fact that Matveeva fulfilled the standard, today she fought with her main rival from Almaty, Kristina Ovchinnikova, for the right to play as part of the U-20 national team at the International Match Meeting in Minsk, which will be held from February 24 to 26. Following the results of the competition, an Almaty jumper will go to represent our country, as her performance was a little more confident, as usual, everything was decided by the number of attempts. Apart from Kristina and Elizabeth, no one managed to reach a height of 180 cm. By the way, Ovchinnikova herself fulfilled the MS standard quite recently, at the championship of Kazakhstan on January 24. Then the athlete entered the sector with the most productive high-altitude athlete of the country, Nadezhda Dubovitskaya, and this time Matveeva was a worthy competitor. Despite the fact that both girls overcame the 180 cm bar on the first attempt, Lisa completed the previous height of 175 cm on the very third attempt, but Kristina took heights starting from 165 cm without a single miss. Progress is obvious, we hope that each participant this time received not only a truly great pleasure from the hot battle, but also remained with a wonderful aftertaste! The men’s performances in the high jump were no less vivid. The main rivals in the sector were Vladislav Bakhtin from East Kazakhstan region and Egor Oleshko from Mangystau region. By the way, Almaty athlete Roman Loshkarev participated outside the competition. Of course, due to his age and experience, this athlete showed a higher result – 2 m 12 cm. But the young athletes did not go so far away from him, their “controversial” height was 2 m. And, as usual, it’s up to the attempts. Egor made a confident first attempt, which allowed him to stay on the line higher in the final protocol than the East Kazakhstan jumper. He was able to fly over the bar on the second attempt. Athletes from East Kazakhstan region can be congratulated on a double “shot” at the prize money in the 400 m run. Ekaterina Efremova and Ayim Kaysanova were the fastest in the final race. Efremova took the lead and with a score of 58.20 s became the winner in this form, Kaysanova finished second with 58.83 s, and the “bronze” went to a participant from the Kostanay region. By the way, Ekaterina and Ayim competed on the first day of the competition in the 4 200 m relay race, where they took third place in the team with Alexandra Egorina and Sofia Bezverkhova – 1:46.01. The men in the 4×200 relay also took the third step on the podium. Unlike the girls, the competitions there were a little more serious, as five teams entered the track, including the East Kazakhstan region. Viktor Zakharov, Ramiz Kartaev, Vladimir Feshchenko and Alexander Aksyutin fought for the honor of the region – 1:32.20. Congratulations to all the athletes on the end of the first day of competition! We wish you further success! Inna Semenyak Photo by the author Source: flavko.kz
