Her Airness, Regina Kaisarova
The 26th International Gusman Kosanov Memorial Tournament has concluded at the Central Stadium in Almaty. On the final day of the competition, the EKR (East Kazakhstan Region) team managed to secure two more medals. Regina Kaisarova became the absolute best in the high jump, winning with a result of 1.8m, even if it wasn’t the most impressive performance. Interestingly, the athlete chose not to attempt the 1.85m height, deciding to settle for her medal. Notably, Kazakhstani athletes swept the entire podium in the high jump. The silver medal in this sector was won by the rising star from Semey, Nadezhda Dubovitskaya, who was the youngest participant in the event, while Alexandra Gulyukina rounded out the top three. 26th International Gusman Kosanov Memorial Tournament High Jump.

Elina Mikhina is Heading to the Olympic Games!
The International “Kosanov Memorial” Athletics Tournament has kicked off in Almaty, featuring representatives from over 20 Asian countries. The immense popularity of this memorial is due to it being the final Asian championship providing an opportunity to meet the qualifying standards for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Elina Mikhina, a runner from Ridder, managed to “catch the last train” to Brazil. The 400m sprint is the signature event for our fellow countrywoman. It was in this race that Elina took second place at the Asian Indoor Championships earlier this year. And at the Kosanov Memorial, which can be compared to a continental championship in terms of prestige, she became the absolute strongest! However, it wasn’t the victory itself that granted the Olympic berth, but the time recorded during the race. Elina won the final with a result of 52.09 seconds, which is significantly faster than the Olympic qualifying standard. Mikhina became the third representative of EKR athletics to secure a trip to Rio. Previously, standards were met by Olga Rypakova and marathon runner Irina Smolnikova. The latter, like Mikhina, is a product of Ridder’s athletics program. It is remarkable that Ridder athletics secured two Olympic spots, especially considering the total lack of proper training facilities in this mining town. In the winter, track athletes are forced to train by running through school corridors. Another medal at the memorial was won by Evgeniy Chettykbayev from Ust-Kamenogorsk. He took second place in the triple jump. His result of 16.3m followed Roman Valiyev’s jump of 16.8m. It seems that with such a performance, Valiyev has every chance of heading to his fourth career Olympics! Third place in this discipline went to a representative from Malaysia with a mark of 16.01m.

Marathon and Race Walking Championship Held in Ust-Kamenogorsk
The Kazakhstan Championship was held in the administrative center of EKR on June 11. Throughout the day, top race walkers and long-distance runners competed on the asphalt of the Slavsky Irtysh Embankment. The EKR national team, which secured second place in the overall team standings, earned two gold medals. Moldir Seitkhanova shone in the half marathon, although gold in this senior junior category was guaranteed for our team as the real battle took place between two runners from Ridder: Seitkhanova and Tatyana Druzhina. In the end, only 51 seconds separated the champion from the runner-up. 44-year-old Yuri Eger shocked everyone. The athlete from Ust-Kamenogorsk managed to take first place in the full marathon, competing against runners young enough to be his sons! It was a proud moment as the entire men’s marathon podium was occupied by EKR representatives: Amir Baitukanov (Ust-Kamenogorsk) and Eduard Vasilyev (Ridder) took second and third place, respectively. Future Olympian Irina Smolnikova from Ridder also tested her strength in the half marathon. The athletics star finished with a time of 1:22:53 — a full 8 minutes faster than the junior winners. RESULTS: JUNIORS Half Marathon 21.197 km. Boys (6 participants): Toshali Alikulov (SKR) — 1:24.53 Maxim ZUZIN (EKR) — 1:26.08 Vladimir Bondarenko (SKR) — 1:29.37 …Alexander LUKYANOV (EKR) — DNF Girls (4 participants): Moldir SEITKHANOVA (EKR) — 1:30.05 Tatyana DRUZHINA (EKR) — 1:30.56 Madina Kerimova (Almaty Region) — 1:45.51 ADULTS Marathon, 42.195 km.

Olga Rypakova Wins Diamond League Stage in Birmingham
Olga Rypakova, the London Olympic champion in the triple jump, emerged victorious at the sixth stage of the Diamond League held in Birmingham, UK, reports Vesti.kz. In her final attempt, Rypakova managed to snatch the win from the main favorite, Caterine Ibargüen of Colombia. The Kazakhstani athlete jumped 14.61 meters, while the Colombian, who held a mark of 14.56 meters, was unable to improve her score. Third place went to Ukraine’s Olha Saladukha, with a best jump of 14.40 meters. Notably, this result equaled Rypakova’s personal best of the season. Furthermore, the Kazakhstani athlete became the first person to defeat Ibargüen in four years. As a reminder, at the fifth stage of the Diamond League in Rome, Rypakova finished second, trailing only Ibargüen.. Источник :http://vesti.kz/athletics/221337/
Olga Rypakova finishes second at the 5th stage of the Diamond League
Olga Rypakova finishes second at the 5th stage of the Diamond League On the night of June 2 to 3, Rome hosted the 5th stage of the elite Diamond League athletics series, where Olga Rypakova delivered a solid performance, reports the 16news.kz correspondent. The competition in Rome was special, primarily because it marked the first meeting in a long time of all three London Olympic medalists: Olga Rypakova, Colombia’s Caterine Ibargüen, and Ukraine’s Olha Saladukha. The latter, however, was rather disappointing; she failed to produce a respectable result and consequently missed out on the final three jumps after her initial three attempts. Rypakova and Ibargüen, on the other hand, had a very engaging duel. After the second jump, our compatriot was in the lead with a mark of 14.51m. This result spurred the Colombian star to improve her performance—reaching 14.64m in her third attempt and 14.78m in her sixth. Unfortunately, Rypakova was unable to surpass those marks and finished in second place. Third place went unexpectedly to Jamaican athlete Shanieka Thomas. Following this stage, Olga Rypakova climbed to second place in the current Diamond League overall standings. Caterine Ibargüen holds a massive lead, having won all three stages where the women’s triple jump has been contested so far. Alexey Gubanov Source: 16news.kz
International athletics competitions were held in Almaty on May 24-25 at the Central Stadium. Athletes from four countries participated: Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and, naturally, Kazakhstan. Seven athletes from East Kazakhstan (EKR) competed as part of the Kazakhstan national team, and every single one of them ended up on the podium. The javelin throwers achieved the greatest success. Artur Gafner sent the javelin to 72.77 m! It is worth noting that he was the only competitor in the javelin sector, so a gold medal was guaranteed. However, this factor did not lead to relaxation, and Artur delivered a performance that allowed him to surpass the junior record of Kazakhstan! This throw secured his participation in the Asian Junior Championships in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from June 4 to 6, and also met the requirements for the Master of Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Varvara Nazarova performed even more brilliantly. While she did not exceed Gafner’s mark, she managed to make history—at just 18 years old, she set a new adult record for Kazakhstan! From her very first attempt, she systematically approached the 50 m mark, and in her fifth attempt, she managed to throw the javelin 50.23 m! This is just 6 cm further than Svetlana Kazanina’s result, set 13 years ago at the World Championships in Saint-Denis (France)! At that time, Nazarova was only 5 years old… Gold medals of the international tournament were won by middle-distance masters Vladislav Sutyagin and Evgeniy Arkhipov, who, as part of the 4×400 m relay team, finished first in a very tough competition against Kyrgyzstan. Sutyagin and Arkhipov also earned individual awards: Vlad won a bronze medal in the 400 m, while Arkhipov took second in the 800 m, trailing the strong Karaganda runner Duman Gabdygaliev by only half a second. Nadezhda Dubovitskaya, a high jumper from Semey, became the tournament champion with a very respectable result of 1.8 m. Silver and bronze medals were brought home by Ust-Kamenogorsk residents Konstantin Skrynnik and Alexey Vladimirov in the hammer throw. Results of EKR athletes at the international competitions among junior teams of Central Asian countries: Men. 400 m Run (8 participants): Grigory Derepaskin (Tajikistan) – 48.89 Kirill Sarasov (Kyrgyzstan) – 49.13 Vladislav SUTYAGIN (Kazakhstan, EKR) – 49.60 800 m Run (7 participants): Duman Gabdygaliev (Kazakhstan) – 1:54.35 Evgeniy ARKHIPOV (Kazakhstan, EKR) – 1:54.85 Musulman Dzholomanov (Kyrgyzstan) – 1:56.5 4×400 m Relay (3 teams): Kazakhstan (ARKHIPOV, SUTYAGIN) – 3:21.30 Kyrgyzstan – 3:22.60 Uzbekistan – 3:33.49 Hammer Throw (3 participants): Ruslan Saifutdinov (Kazakhstan) – 54.88 Konstantin SKRYNNIK (Kazakhstan, EKR) – 51.92 Alexey VLADIMIROV (Kazakhstan, EKR) – 51.59 Javelin Throw (1 participant): Artur GAFNER (EKR) – 72.77 – New Junior Record of Kazakhstan Girls.
