Prize winners of the Kazakhstan Athletics Championship among youths born in 2002–2003
Prize winners of the Kazakhstan Athletics Championship among youths born in 2002–2003 Yefim Tarasov is the first and only track and field athlete from East Kazakhstan Region in the 2002–2003 age category who managed to win gold medals in two disciplines. In the 300 m and 600 m races, he outperformed his rivals with a solid margin. The most interesting point is that the 600 m distance turned out to be the easiest for our athletes, as Danil Suleimenov also managed to win third place in this event. 300 m Yefim TARASOV (EKO) – 38.29 Alexey Ryzhkov (Karaganda Region) – 39.65 Alisher Almagambetov (Kostanay Region) – 39.97 1000 m Nurbolat Akhmadiyev (Astana) – 2:51.34 Kanat Bilimkhan (Almaty Region) – 2:54.22 Alexander Makarov (Pavlodar Region) – 2:54.49 60 m hurdles Nikita Osinsky (Pavlodar Region) – 8.78 Evgeny Kolesov (SKO) – 8.81 Leonid Ivanov (Pavlodar Region) – 9.14 High jump Asylzhan Sabyr (SKO) – 1.75 Vladislav Pletnev (Karaganda Region) – 1.70 Rinat Gazimov (Karaganda Region) – 1.65 Heptathlon Evgeny Kolesnikov (SKO) – 3802 Abdulhamid Kisin (Almaty) – 3582 Daniil Petrov (Karaganda Region) – 3336 The youngest athletes of the championship also showed strong results. Olga Pulyaeva and Elizaveta Buluchevskaya from East Kazakhstan left a noticeable mark on the national championship among the youngest competitors. Both girls managed to win silver medals on the second day of competition. Buluchevskaya was the first to bring a medal to the East Kazakhstan team among girls born in 2002–2003. She managed to outperform her rivals in the 60 m hurdles, while Pulyaeva secured the second silver for the team in the 300 m race. In fact, Olga Pulyaeva showed promise already on the first day of the championship in the 60 m race, but unfortunately she did not make it into the top three and finished fourth. 300 m (girls) Nadezhda Yurchenko (North Kazakhstan Region) – 42.10 Olga PULYAEVA (EKO) – 42.60 Yana Kochmar (Karaganda Region) – 42.73 1000 m (girls) Alexandra Mokhireva (Karaganda Region) – 3:09.76 Tatyana Zagrivaya (Kostanay Region) – 3:10.97 Yulia Shchur (Pavlodar Region) – 3:12.08 60 m hurdles (girls) Ekaterina Kudashkina (Almaty Region) – 9.59 Elizaveta BULUCHEVSKAYA (EKO) – 9.68 Olga Chernova (SKO) – 9.75 Moldir Seitkhanova finished third in the 3000 m race at the junior Kazakhstan Athletics Championship. The final positions in this event were decided long before the finish. No one was able to compete with Viktoria Sergeeva today, including the excellent long-distance runner from Ridder. On the last lap, Sergeeva managed to lap Seitkhanova, although our athlete actively resisted. Possibly thanks to this, Moldir managed to run under 11 minutes. 3000 m (girls, 6 participants) Viktoria Sergeeva (North Kazakhstan Region) – 10:16.45 Ellina Rumyantseva (Kostanay Region) – 10:27.14 Moldir SEITKHANOVA (EKO) – 10:59.72 Karaganda junior girls won the final gold medal of the national athletics championship. The East Kazakhstan team finished second. The girls’ junior 4×400 m relay became a moment of triumph for the Karaganda athletics school. The team from this city won the relay with a clear advantage. Even though they had only two competing teams, the athletes from the mining capital of Kazakhstan performed excellently. Athletes from East Kazakhstan can also be proud of themselves. Arina Saifullina took advantage of her final opportunity to stand on the podium for the second time at this championship — she had won bronze in the 800 m the day before, and here she finished one place higher. She was strongly supported by Tatyana Druzhina from Ridder. This athlete was not able to reach the podium in individual events, as she is still regaining form after a long break. Her teammate Regina Mitrofanova, who also competed in this relay, was born in 2001, so she is not yet ready to compete equally with older athletes in the junior category. However, in this relay they did everything possible to win the silver medal. It is worth noting that Mitrofanova performed excellently in both relay races — the day before she had won a bronze medal in the 4×200 m relay. Ekaterina Efremova also deserves special mention. The Ust-Kamenogorsk athlete was perhaps the only one in the team who ran her main distance. She had already won bronze in the 400 m at this championship and did not miss the chance to fight for a higher result here. 4×400 m relay (girls, 3 teams) Karaganda Region (Ovchinnikova, Akhmetova, Paromonova, Lysaya) – 4:00.45 East Kazakhstan Region (Druzhina, Saifullina, Efremova, Mitrofanova) – 4:11.21 North Kazakhstan Region (Sergeeva, Astafyeva, Mamekova, Shapovalova) – 4:17.18 Pentathlon Sarifa Rzakulieva became the national champion in the pentathlon, outperforming all other participants by more than 300 points. She won four out of five events: high jump, long jump, shot put, and 60 m hurdles. In the 800 m race, Anastasia Nedeva was the best and eventually finished third overall. It is noteworthy that all five events were completed in one day within just a few hours, making it a tough challenge for the athletes. Unfortunately, Viktoria Ryazantseva, one of the contenders, withdrew from the competition after the high jump. Pentathlon (5 participants) Sarifa Rzakulieva (Almaty) – 3320 Valentina Potapova (Karaganda Region) – 3063 Anastasia Nedeva (Karaganda Region) – 2864 3000 m (men, 18 participants) This event featured a very high level of competition. All 18 athletes who started the race finished it. The race was led by two representatives of Almaty Region — Alexander Popov and Daryn Konysbayev — who competed mainly against each other while also achieving first-category standards. Alexander Popov (Almaty Region) – 8:49.25 Daryn Konysbayev (Almaty Region) – 8:50.37 Said Sulaimanov (SKO) – 9:00.99…12. Sabyrzhan Akabayev (EKO) – 9:46.06 Athletes from East Kazakhstan narrowly lost to the Pavlodar Region team in a tight contest. The East Kazakhstan men’s 4×400 m relay team was truly a combined team: athletes came from different cities — Belousovka, Ridder, Semey, and Ust-Kamenogorsk. Despite limited time to practice baton exchanges together, they managed to perform successfully. 4×400 m relay (men, 6 teams) Karaganda Region – 3:26.52 Pavlodar Region –
Results: Day 2 of the Kazakhstan National Athletics Championship
Ответ Gemini Here is the complete English translation of the text, formatted for clarity: 5000m Race Walk Juniors (Men): Madi Aidar (Almaty Region) – 25:00.7 Junior Girls: Ekaterina Shlykova (Almaty) – 26:36.8 Aruzhan Kuttybayeva (Almaty) – 29:22.7 Anastasia CHESHUINA (East Kazakhstan Region – EKR) – 31:04.11 The East Kazakhstan Region entered two athletes in this discipline: Elina Ustinovich and Anzhela Golubeva, but neither was destined to reach the podium. Our girls were unable to counter the competitors from the Karaganda and Mangystau regions. This applies to a lesser extent to Ustinovich, who finished the competition in fourth place with a result of 140 cm. High Jump. Girls (Born 2002-2003) Valentina Shevchuk (Karaganda Region) – 156 cm Sabira Musina (Mangystau Region) – 153 cm Ekaterina Kochneva (Karaganda Region) – 145 cm Ust-Kamenogorsk native Bota Kumarov took seventh place in the final standings with a result of 150 cm. Assylzhan Sabyr from the South Kazakhstan Region (SKR) topped the jumpers’ list, while the silver medal went to the Karaganda athlete Vladislav Pletenev. High Jump. Boys (Born 2002-2003) Assylzhan Sabyr (SKR) – 175 cm Vladislav Pletenev (Karaganda Region) – 170 cm Rinat Gazimov (Karaganda Region) – 165 cm Three representatives from EKR competed in this discipline. Saifullina was joined by Ridder athletes Tatyana Druzhina and Regina Mitrofanova. Ultimately, our trio occupied third through fifth places, but only Saifullina managed to achieve a result at the first-grade athletic level. 800m RUN. Girls (9 participants) Ekaterina Paramonova (Karaganda Region) – 2:18.34 Ryana Zeynalova (Almaty) – 2:21.44 Arina SAIFULLINA (EKR) – 2:22.61 Nadezhda Dubovitskaya’s gold medal was a foregone conclusion; everyone knew she would add “Gold” to our team’s tally. However, this does not make her achievement any less significant. Moreover, Nadezhda’s result is far from ordinary—even now, in winter, she is jumping 180 cm. Her personal record is only 3 cm higher. Considering the Asian Championship bronze medalist still has two or three starts in Ust-Kamenogorsk at various national championships, it is highly likely this record will fall. High Jump. Girls (7 participants) Nadezhda DUBOVITSKAYA (EKR) – 180 cm Ulyana Filina (Karaganda Region) – 165 cm Anastasia Efimenko (Almaty) – 160 cm …5. Veta KHARITONOVA (EKR) – 155 cm EKR Juniors became Champions of Kazakhstan in the 4x200m relay. EKR athletes performed a true miracle by winning gold medals in the 4x200m relay. One athlete from our quartet was born in 2001, but this did not stop our guys from showing incredible unity and a willingness to give their all for the team result, just as they did last year. Young Feshchenko did not allow the other teams to pull too far away, Zhandos Kumarbekov closed the gap, Miras Kaidarov brought the team into the lead, and Timur Parygin ensured no one could take away the first place they had earned. Everyone in this squad had a role. Luck also played a part—the Karaganda team dropped the baton. However, the relay exchange is a crucial element, and it was in this area that the young East Kazakhstanis surpassed their opponents. Men (7 teams): EKR (Kumarbekov, Kaidarov, Feshchenko, Parygin) – 1:33.88 Pavlodar Region (Balkoev, Kostrikin, Bolshakov, Adamchuk) – 1:34.06 SKR (Kondratyev, Ryspek, Amirov, Kazakbaev) – 1:35.37 Our girls also won a bronze medal. To be fair, only three teams competed here, so “bronze” was guaranteed as long as we finished without dropping the baton. BUT! The point is that none of our relay participants are of junior age; three of the four athletes were born in 2001. Therefore, finishing only three seconds behind the second-place Almaty team can be considered another symbolic success for our young runners. Girls (3 teams): Karaganda Region (Gubanova, Paramonova, Akhmetova, Ochinnikova) – 1:43.31 Almaty (Ryazantseva, Niyazova, Kasyanova, Ismail) – 1:44.80 EKR (Zavodina, Egorina, Maidankina, Mitrofanova) – 1:47.80 Ivan Dmitriev – Bronze medalist of the Kazakhstan Junior Championship in the Triple Jump. Dmitriev was unable to put up a serious fight against the two Almaty athletes, but as the host, he made it into the top three with a jump of 13.92 m. He outpaced his closest pursuer by only 6 cm. Men (6 participants): Rasul Ismatov (Almaty) – 14.83 m Nikita Kornyshev (Almaty) – 14.38 m Ivan DMITRIEV (EKR) – 13.92 m Heroes and Medals of the Second Competition Day 200m RUN Anastasia Zavodina, Anna Maidankina, Ekaterina Efremova, and Alexandra Egorina were our delegates in this discipline. This quartet shared one common trait—none of them had reached the age required for the junior criteria. Naturally, it was difficult to compete on equal terms with opponents one or even two years older. Nevertheless, Zavodina finished seventh, just one step away from the final, and Egorina made it into the top six, where she fought strong sprinters and managed to take fourth place! Girls (17 participants): Inna Gubanova (Karaganda Region) – 26.02 Anastasia Kasyanova (Almaty) – 26.05 Yulia Tkachenko (Astana) – 26.42 Men (30 participants): David Efremov (Karaganda Region) – 22.63 Amir Balkoev (Pavlodar Region) – 22.87 Kirill Grigoryan (Karaganda Region) – 23.21 …6. Timur PARYGIN (EKR) – 23.61 60m HURDLES Svetlana Malezhina from Ust-Kamenogorsk made it to the final but was defeated by more experienced rivals. It was a disappointment for Miras Kaidarov, who lost the bronze medal to Ilkham Kazakbaev by only 0.02 seconds! Girls (10 participants): Kamila Niyazova (Almaty) – 9.13 Sarifa Rzakulieva (Almaty) – 9.30 Olesya Mikhailiv (Karaganda Region) – 9.39 …7. Svetlana MALEZHINA (EKR) – 9.60 Men (13 participants): Vyacheslav Zems (Karaganda Region) – 7.81 Danila Goryachkin (Karaganda Region) – 8.44 Ilkham Kazakbaev (SKR) – 8.44 …5.

Kostanay Leads Medal Count After Opening Disciplines the Kazakhstan Athletics Championship for juniors and boys/girls (born 2002–2003) has kicked off in Ust-Kamenogorsk. Following tradition, the first discipline to determine the strongest athletes was the Race Walk. The first medals of the tournament went to young athletes from the Kostanay region, Oleg Vlasov and Alena Lapitskaya. 3000m Race Walk (Age Group 2002–2003) Boys (2 participants): Oleg Vlasov (Kostanay region) – 15:49.3 Ernar Zhumamuratuly (Almaty region) – 20:10.1 Girls (3 participants): Alena Lapitskaya (Kostanay region) – 16:41 Rezvanna Sharakhmetova (Almaty) – 16:54.2 Anel Nurmukhambet (Almaty region) – 18:23 Pole Vault: Almaty Sweeps the Podium The East Kazakhstan (EKO) team was unable to field a single athlete for the girls’ pole vault. This category ended in a triumphant victory for the Almaty team, with athletes from the “Southern Capital” securing all three spots on the podium. Girls 2002–2003 (4 participants): Polina Ivanova (Almaty) – 3.40 m Anastasia Kolos (Almaty) – 2.90 m Anastasia Khodus (Almaty) – 2.80 m In the Boys’ Pole Vault (2002-2003), Elnur Zhumabekov brought the first medal to the EKO team. A medal was virtually guaranteed for him—he simply had to enter the sector and clear the starting height, as only three athletes competed for the gold. Zhumabekov took second place due to fewer attempts at the final height of 2.30 m. Boys 2002–2003 (3 participants): Vladislav Garbuznyak (Almaty) – 3.00 m Elnur Zhumabekov (EKO) – 2.30 m Askar Kairatuly (Kyzylorda region) – 2.30 m Running Events: 600m Dominance In the 600m distance, the middle-distance running school of the North Kazakhstan region (SKO) showed its superiority. The most intense competition occurred in the fifth heat. Nadezhda Yurchenko was the only athlete to finish in under one minute and forty seconds. Girls 2002–2003 (37 participants): Nadezhda Yurchenko (SKO) – 1:39.58 Nelli Keller (Pavlodar region) – 1:42.01 Valeria Lyapina (Almaty region) – 1:43.89 Boys 2002–2003 (24 participants): Efim Tarasov from Ridder became the champion, securing the only gold medal for EKO in this age category so far.

Program of the RK Athletics Championship among Juniors 27–29.01.17
The 3rd Gusman Kosanov Memorial Athletics Tournament was held in Ust-Kamenogorsk.
In addition to the EKO (East Kazakhstan) Champion titles, two mountain bikes were up for grabs at the event. The EKO Championship, dedicated to the memory of the famous sprinter and 1960 Rome Olympic silver medalist (as part of the Soviet 4x100m relay team), took place at the Olga Rypakova Athletics Arena. Interestingly, the legendary athlete herself, after whom the facility is named, was present at the competition. The championship was vibrant and colorful, even if not the most massive in terms of numbers. Typically, summer competitions draw a larger audience; however, the turnout for a winter championship was remarkably high. In reality, it felt like an “Open EKO Championship,” as it featured representatives from the Karaganda and Almaty regions. Athletes from Ridder, Semey, Beskaragay, and Kokpekty districts, as well as Nova Bukhtarma and Belousovka, joined the local contingent. The total number of participants exceeded 150. The strongest athletes were identified across three age categories: 2002–2003, 2000–2001, and juniors born in 1998–1999. Given the number of disciplines and categories, a vast number of titles were contested. There were 73 champions in total. Impressively, more than half of the first-place certificates remained with local athletes, as Ust-Kamenogorsk competitors secured 39 first-place finishes. The most successful performances came from Ust-Kamenogorsk’s Anastasia Zavodina, Alexander Aksyutin, Alexandra Egorina, and Alexander Ibragimov, each winning three championship titles. Zavodina triumphed in the 60m dash, the 4x200m relay, and the long jump. Egorina was unmatched in the 200m, 400m, and the same relay. Aksyutin excelled in the 200m, 400m, and the 4x200m relay. All three became triple champions in the 2000–2001 age group. Alexander Ibragimov became the youngest triple champion, winning the 60m hurdles, the 4x200m relay, and the long jump in the 2002–2003 category. At the conclusion of the event, the organizers held a lottery to award the bicycles among athletes who achieved results meeting the “First Adult Category” (sports rank). Among the boys, only two qualified. Blind luck and the “lucky hand” of Olga Rypakova’s son, Kirill—who drew the names from a large glass bowl—sent the first bicycle straight to Alexander Aksyutin. Seven female athletes contended for the second bicycle. Fortune smiled upon a young beauty from Belousovka, Kristina Morozova. During the competition, Morozova became a double champion, winning both the 600m and 1000m races. In the team standings, Ust-Kamenogorsk took first place with 39 winners’ certificates. Ridder followed in second place with 13 top-tier awards. The Semey team finished with one victory less than Ridder. Representatives from Kokpekty, Belousovka, Karaganda, Nova Bukhtarma, and the Almaty region each took home at least one award.
Program of the Open EKR Championship in Memory of Gusman Kosanov
On January 5–6, 2017, the first athletics competition of the new year was held in Ust-Kamenogorsk.
For the first time, the competition was dedicated to the celebration of Christmas.At the opening ceremony, the athletes were told about this holiday to give them a full understanding of what this celebration represents. This undoubtedly became the highlight of the tournament, prepared by the organizers. The rest of the “spice” was generously added by the athletes themselves. The competitions at the O. Rypakova Athletics Center were held in three age categories. The participants included 110 athletes from Ust-Kamenogorsk, Belousovka, and Ridder. Unfortunately, among the girls, it will be remembered that there were very few participants. Across the three age categories, there were only 50 female participants! Among the oldest girls born in 1998–1999, there were only three! That is catastrophically few. If the situation does not change, then at the junior level in the regional center only Erika Kem and Moldir Seitkhanova will remain. Moreover, Seitkhanova is from Ridder, and Kem began her athletic career in the Kokpekti district. Among the boys, the situation was only slightly better. Of course, illnesses, winter holidays, and other circumstances prevented many from competing. So we hope that the small number of participants is only temporary. The Birthday Boy Let’s start with congratulations.High jumper Georgiy Yermolov from Ust-Kamenogorsk celebrated his 18th birthday right in the jumping sector! Unfortunately, he couldn’t give himself the perfect gift by clearing 180 cm and once again finished with a height of 175 cm. However, it’s worth noting that both 170 cm and 175 cm were cleared on his third attempts, which speaks of his strong character. We hope that this very character will help him reach his maximum potential at the upcoming Kazakhstan Championships. We wish him success on behalf of our website’s editorial team. Ust-Kamenogorsk’s Answer to Pulyaeva Ridder sprinter Olga Pulyaeva, living up to her surname (derived from “bullet”), once burst onto the scene with a storm of speed, beating athletes two years older when she was just a young girl. It seems that Ust-Kamenogorsk now has a similar phenomenon — Valeria Bromat.Born in 2004, she managed to outrun older competitors in the most intense final of the first competition day. She was even faster than city champion Angelina Malkova, who in the autumn city championship had defeated the “great and terrible” Darya Demchenko in the 100-meter sprint.Malkova, admittedly, was not in top shape due to illness, but this does not diminish Valeria Bromat’s achievement. Dominators from Belousovka The neighboring village did not send many athletes to the championship.That’s why it was especially pleasant for coach Tsirikov that his students took the entire podium in the 60 m race for the 2000–2001 age group. Everyone was sure that Feshchenko would win. Only a false start — like Usain Bolt’s disqualification at the World Championships — could have stopped him.But few predicted that his fellow villagers Sokolov and Sukhorukov would take the other two podium spots.By the way, Daniil Prokopenko, also from Belousovka, took fourth place — complete domination! In the same category and discipline, the biggest disappointment occurred.Ramiz Kartayev, a sprinter with a great reputation and even medals from international competitions, failed to perform in the final on January 5. Hopefully, this was just an episode, not a trend.He partly redeemed himself by winning the 60 m hurdles. Now only the regional championship remains to restore full confidence. Comeback of the Year Anna Maidankina.Yes, that same girl who once competed in various events but didn’t make a notable mark. Since then, she tried karate, dancing, even fire-rescue sports.But her roots in athletics eventually pulled her back — and apparently, for good reason!Now taller and stronger, Maidankina became one of the biggest discoveries of the championship.The 60 m women’s race didn’t have a star lineup, but the confidence with which she won amazed everyone. In the final, she outran second-place Anastasia Berezutskaya by 0.39 seconds!By the end of the championship, she became one of only five athletes to win three medals.Even in the 200 m — the classic rivalry between Alexandra Egorina and Anastasia Zavodina — Maidankina fit right in. Yes, she lost to both, but it’s important how you lose. All three ran under 27 seconds, while others lagged behind by three seconds or more!So Maidankina showed she can compete at the top level — and hopefully, this is only the beginning! The Collectors As always, we’d like to mention the athletes who earned the most awards by competing in multiple events.The standout was Alexander Ibragimov, who earned four certificates in entirely different disciplines: 60 m sprint, 4×200 m relay, shot put, and long jump.It’s great to see such a bright debut at the very start of the new year. The most decorated athlete was Amir Aimkanov, competing in the 2002–2003 category. He became the only three-time Ust-Kamenogorsk champion! Among triple medalists were five girls — Kristina Morozova (Belousovka), Anna Maidankina, Ekaterina Efremova, Kristina Kharitonova, and Anastasia Pavlova — and six boys: Kuanish Zhaparov, Amir Aimkanov, Vladislav Bakhtin, Timur Zholdotaev, Ruslan Kartayev, and Amir Mamyrbekov. Special mention goes to double city champions Anastasia Zavodina, Alexander Aksyutin, Roman Martynov, Valeria Bromat, and Elizaveta Buluchevskaya.As for Moldir Seitkhanova, Miras Makzumov, Dmitry Byvshev, and Evgeniya Borodulina, their success is undisputed — but on 3000 m and 1500 m distances, they had no rivals at all.

New Year’s Bar 2016
The Athletics Arena hosted the Ust-Kamenogorsk Open Championship for children born in 2005 and younger. These young athletes competed in three disciplines: the 50m sprint, the long jump, and the 200m run. For many of these children, this competition marked the very first milestone of their sporting careers—an experience that will undoubtedly stay in their memories forever. The list of champions among the boys must begin with Egor Getmanskiy. He dominated the field, outperforming his rivals in all three disciplines to secure the overall champion title. Manas Saidagali took second place, followed by Vyacheslav Alpatov, who delivered a truly spirited and memorable performance. After placing third in the initial event, Alpatov showed great resilience, later overtaking Manas Saidagali by 0.64 seconds in the 50m sprint to secure his spot as a runner-up. The competition was equally fierce among the girls. At the start, Sofia Toiskina led the rankings, with Elina Loginova in second and Lisana Savchenko taking the bronze. However, as the events progressed, the rivalry intensified. While Sofia maintained her status as the fastest runner in the 200m, Lisana Savchenko pushed herself to the limit, successfully climbing into second place. Finally, in the closing discipline—the long jump—Savchenko found the strength to leap from second place into the gold medal position. No one expected such a heated struggle, but these young athletes proved that they are more than capable of fighting for the title of champion.
