Olga Rypakova Takes Third at the Diamond League Opening Stage
Olga Rypakova Takes Third at the Diamond League Opening Stage The competitions of the first stage of the Diamond League took place in the capital of Qatar. Nine athletes from nine different countries participated in the women’s triple jump. This event offered a perfect opportunity to witness the rivalry between the two main stars of the discipline and contenders for the Rio 2016 Olympic gold: Olga Rypakova and Colombia’s Caterine Ibargüen. However, these two were not the nominal favorites in Doha. As it turns out, the best result of the current season up to that point belonged to… Yulimar Rojas of Venezuela! Relatively unknown to the wider circle of track and field fans, Rojas won the World Indoor Championships in March of this year, though her winning result of 14.41 m was hardly seen as a major threat. Yet, she held the world lead for the season until this event, with a jump of 14.69 m set in Madrid in January. Neither World Champion Ibargüen nor Olympic Champion Olga Rypakova had reached that mark this season. Furthermore, our compatriot had not made a single competitive attempt prior to the Doha stage. Plans to compete at the domestic Winter Championships of Kazakhstan were in place, but the triple jump star withdrew at the last moment. After the first attempt, Rypakova sat in second place with a modest 14.23 m, which was enough to take some risks and aim for a more confident result. However, after the second round, it became clear that the mark needed to be improved significantly to secure a podium spot. Rojas began setting one personal best after another. Her second attempt reached 14.61 m, while her third and fifth jumps saw the Venezuelan sensation fly to 14.79 m and 14.92 m, respectively! Only Ibargüen was able to counter the 21-year-old Venezuelan’s boldness, posting a jump of 15.04 m in her fifth attempt. Rypakova is clearly not rushing her preparation for Rio de Janeiro. Up until the fifth round, she showed mediocre results, including a jump of only 13.88 m in her fourth attempt. However, one should never underestimate the remarkable character of the Ust-Kamenogorsk star; in her fifth jump, Rypakova reached 14.61 m! A very solid start for the beginning of the summer season. Olga finished third. But this does not mean she isn’t ready to win. It means the Olympic Champion has not yet tapped into all her reserves. For instance, last season she never reached the 14.5-meter mark before the World Championships, where she ultimately jumped 14.78 m. Having already hit 14.61 m at the start of the season, one can only imagine what she will achieve in August at the Olympic Games, where her experienced coaches will ensure she reaches her peak form.

Track and field athletes return to “Vostok”
The stadium hosted competitions only in the track disciplines of the “Queen of Sports.” To hold the regional center’s championship, three sports facilities had to be utilized at once: the Olga Rypakova Athletics Arena, where technical event awards were contested; the “Olimpiets” sports module, where athletes threw various implements; and the “Vostok” stadium. The Ust-Kamenogorsk Athletics Championship took place on the running tracks of the renovated stadium, as reported by a 16news.kz correspondent. The stadium hosted competitions only in the track disciplines of the “Queen of Sports.” To hold the regional center’s championship, three sports facilities had to be utilized: the Olga Rypakova Athletics Arena, where technical event awards were contested; the “Olimpiets” sports module, where athletes threw various implements; and the “Vostok” stadium. Athletics events were last held at the main stadium of Ust-Kamenogorsk nearly 15 years ago. About 150 athletes aged 11 to 18 participated in the championship across four age categories. Dmitry Lukichev became the most decorated athlete of this championship, winning in all four throwing disciplines: javelin, hammer, discus, and shot put. Another “pure” thrower, Sergey Krashennikov, became a three-time city champion. Among the girls, there was no single absolute winner, resulting in a triumvirate led by three-time city champions Darya Demchenko, Elizaveta Matveeva, and Leila Tolegenova. Two first-place certificates each were won by Tatyana Nikolenko, Anastasia Plakhotina, Diana Rogacheva, Darya Merlina, Erika Kem, Zhandos Zhakypov, Alexander Aksyutin, Nikolay Shishkin, Pavel Belogortsev, Duman Kenzhibek, Miras Kaidarov, Amir Aimkanov, Olzhas Kyzymoldaev, and Vladislav Sutyagin. In total, 54 athletes earned championship titles during the competition. They will form the core of the Ust-Kamenogorsk team for the upcoming East Kazakhstan Regional Open Championship in memory of N. Khodaeva, starting on April 23 in Semey.

East Kazakhstan Athletes Win Seven Medals at International Tournament in Tashkent
East Kazakhstan Athletes Win Seven Medals at International Tournament in Tashkent The competition took place in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, on March 3-4. The most successful among our athletes was Evgeniy Arkhipov, who won two gold medals: first in the individual 400m race with a time of 51.77s, and later as part of the 4x400m relay team. Alongside two athletes from Karaganda, Arkhipov was joined in the relay by another Ust-Kamenogorsk native, Kazakhstan champion Zhandos Kumarbekov. In February of this year, the EKR (East Kazakhstan Region) team set a national record in this relay, and that record remained unbroken in Tashkent. This was likely due to a lack of intense competition—the Kazakhstani team finished more than 3 seconds ahead of their nearest rivals from Uzbekistan. In the individual 400m race, Arkhipov also didn’t need to push for a season best, finishing in Tashkent with a time more than a second slower than his peak performance at the home national championship. Another gold medal was secured by high jumper Nadezhda Dubovitskaya from Semey, for whom this start was a true breakthrough. Her main goal this season was to clear the 180cm bar. Three previous home starts had been unsuccessful—each time she came very close, but the bar would eventually fall. There was even talk of a “psychological block” regarding this specific height. Finally, what this beautiful athlete had been striving for became a reality in Uzbekistan. Furthermore, she didn’t stop at 180cm and cleared 183cm on her first attempt, though she couldn’t progress further. The lack of real competition also played a part—the Asian Championship bronze medalist outperformed her nearest competitor by 13cm. Silver medals were brought home to the East Kazakhstan Region by Moldir Seitkhanova (Ridder) in the 1500m, Vladislav Sutyagin (Glubokoye) and Timur Parygin (Semey) in the 4x200m relay, Miras Kaidarov (Ust-Kamenogorsk) in the 60m hurdles, and Varvara Nazarova, a javelin thrower from Ust-Kamenogorsk who was forced to compete in the shot put during the winter season.

Mitrofanova and Demchenko – Two-time Kazakhstan National Athletics Champions
The triumphs of the home championship were, predictably, the track and field athletes of the Karaganda region, who won the team standings by a very wide margin. Despite taking second place overall, the East Kazakhstan Region (EKR) team cannot boast a vast number of awards. For instance, the male half of the regional team collectively secured only one medal—Dmitry Lukichev took second place in the shot put. The remaining 9 awards were earned by the female athletes. The most decorated among our compatriots was Darya Demchenko. In addition to her second-place finish in the shot put, Darya added a personal victory in the 60m hurdles and the 4x200m relay. Ridder-based runner Regina Mitrofanova demonstrated equal efficiency: after becoming the strongest in the 600m run and finishing second in the 1000m distance, Regina joined the “golden” EKR relay team, where she was partnered by Demchenko, Anastasia Zubenko, and Alexandra Egorina. This gold was not the only medal for the latter two athletes: Zubenko took third in the 300m, while Egorina placed second in the same event. The final two medals were earned by Elizaveta Matveeva. She became the absolute champion in the pentathlon and secured a silver medal in the high jump with a result of 160 cm. Alexey Gubanov Source: vksport.kz
Anastasia Soprunova won the Asian Athletics Championships
The women’s 60m hurdles championship will be remembered for its extremely high level of suspense. Only one thing was certain: a Kazakhstani athlete would become the champion. However, which of the two contenders would prove strongest remained a big question. Almaty’s Anastasia Pilipenko and Ust-Kamenogorsk’s sprinter Anastasia Soprunova are very closely matched. Both participated in the London Olympics, both were top favorites at the Kazakhstan Championships in late January, and both even won their preliminary heats at the Asian Championships in Doha. When the moment of the long-awaited final arrived, the two Anastasias burst from the blocks as if this were their last chance to win anything in their careers. Just over 8 seconds later, they crossed the finish line simultaneously, leaving everyone in total uncertainty as to who the Asian champion was! The scoreboard showed identical figures in the “result” column: 8.17. Only a photo finish could determine Anastasia Soprunova’s advantage over her namesake by a few thousandths of a second. It is worth noting that the Ust-Kamenogorsk athlete defeated Pilipenko in the same style at the home Kazakhstan Championships. Thus, it can be stated with confidence that Soprunova firmly intends to participate in the second Olympic Games of her career. For a change of pace, Olga Rypakova also competed in the long jump. Despite this not being the primary discipline for the Olympic Champion, the triple jump star still managed to secure a bronze medal in Doha. Remarkably, her very first attempt of 6.22m proved to be the “bronze” winning jump. Olga was clearly not chasing a record result, as evidenced by her skipping the third and sixth attempts. Even regarding the sixth attempt, Rypakova understood that her current mark would only bring her the bronze medal, yet this did not motivate her to return to the pit. The Olympic champion wisely chose to be cautious and not exert herself fully in a secondary competition, as her main goal is to prepare thoroughly for the competitions in August. Unfortunately, Regina Kaisarova from Semey performed below her capabilities, stopping at 170 cm. Normally, Regina only begins her competition at this height, and in her last start, she jumped over 180 cm. This time, however, she could not replicate such an outstanding result. The reasons for this will be clarified later. LONG JUMP. Women (12 participants): Mayookha Johny (India) – 6.35 Bui Thi Thu Thao (Vietnam) – 6.3 Olga RYPAKOVA (Kazakhstan, EKR) – 6.22 …10.

East Kazakhstan Athletes Win Two Medals at the Asian Athletics Championships
East Kazakhstan Athletes Win Two Medals at the Asian Athletics Championships Ridder-based runner Elina Mikhina took second place in the 400m, losing only to Bahraini athlete Mujidat Oluwakemi, who set a new Asian record of 51.67. Interestingly, Mikhina’s final time was slightly slower than her performance in the decisive heat of the Kazakhstan Championships, where she clocked 53.37 seconds. However, the Bahraini athlete’s lead was so significant that there was little sense in pushing to the absolute limit at the finish line, especially given the risk of injury. As expected, Olga Rypakova became the Asian champion, once again demonstrating her extraordinary character. The Olympic champion’s best performance came in her very last attempt, where she “flew” to a mark of 14.32m. This set a new Asian Championship record. Another Kazakhstani triple jump expert, Irina Ektova, finished third. Among other notable results were Viktoriya Zyabkina’s championship in the 60m, Roman Valiev’s victory in the triple jump, and Mikhail Litvin’s third-place finish in the 400m, which also set a new Kazakhstani record. 400 M RUN.
