London is made for Rypakova!
To be fair, the level of competition this time was surprisingly low. The leaders of the world season, Olha Saladukha from Ukraine, Caterine Ibargüen from Colombia, and Ekaterina Koneva from Russia, skipped this start, apparently laying low before the World Athletics Championships in Beijing, which is just less than a month away. In the absence of top-tier stars, Rypakova had to compete against not-so-famous athletes. While the names of Kimberly Williams from Jamaica and Dana Velďáková from Slovakia are more or less familiar to the most meticulous athletics fans, even our correspondent heard of the Lithuanian Dovilė Dzindzaletaitė for the first time. Accordingly, the results turned out to be low. Our “prima’s” best jump reached 14.33 m—hardly a grandmaster result either. Williams jumped 18 cm shorter than the take-off board and took second place, while third place went to Velďáková with a jump of 13.66 m, which is laughable for such a level. Source: vksport.kz

Elina Mikhina finishes sixth at the Asian Grand Prix
Elina Mikhina from Ridder has recently accustomed us to consistently placing among the medalists of major competitions. Over the last month, she has earned two bronze medals, one of which was won at the Asian Championships and the second at the Spartakiad of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Unfortunately, her successful streak of performances was interrupted in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. In the 400 m distance, Mikhina made it into the finalists, but this time she failed to step onto the podium. As a result, she finished sixth with a time of 54.81 seconds. A sort of “sweetener” to this “pill” was the victory in the same final by another representative of Kazakhstan, Yulia Rakhmanova, who turned out to be more than a second faster than Mikhina. In total, on the first competition day, Kazakhstani athletes secured victories by Rakhmanova, Victoria Zyabkina in the 100 m sprint, Anastasia Pilipenko in the 100 m hurdles (13.25 s), and a “bronze” by Irina Ektova in the triple jump (13.59 m). Notably, Anastasia Soprunova from the East Kazakhstan Region, a participant in the 2012 Olympic Games, did not start in the 100 m hurdles final. Source: http://vksport.kz/

The 19th People’s Sports Games have concluded
Ust-Kamenogorsk and the Tarbagatay district managed to defend their titles. By the way, these teams can boldly be called “dynasties,” as they have not yielded the lead to anyone for many consecutive years! The awards were presented to the winners and medalists by the Deputy Akim of the East Kazakhstan Region, Zhaksylyk Omar, who thanked all participating teams for coming to Ust-Kamenogorsk and demonstrating fair, uncompromising competition over the past four days. The top three in the city standings were Zyryanovsk, Semey, and Ust-Kamenogorsk, taking third through first place respectively. Among the rural teams, the strongest were the Borodulikha district (3rd place), Ulan district (2nd place), and Tarbagatay district. In the future, our portal will strive to acquaint our visitors with the results of all sports included in the program of the People’s Sports Games. Source: vksport.kz
Ridder has a “bronze” from the Asian Athletics Championships!
The final heat of the 4×400 meter relay teams started on the final competition day. Joining Mikhina on the Kazakhstan national team, which ran in the fifth lane, were Yulia Rakhmanova, Alexandra Romanova, and Anastasia Kudinova. Mikhina ran the opening leg and set a good pace for the entire team, which managed to finish the race with the third-best result, trailing only the teams from China and India. The only gold medal for the national team was brought by Victoria Zyabkina, who won the 200m sprint with an outstanding result of 23.09 seconds. This time allowed Victoria to also secure an Olympic quota, which will be the third for the country. Earlier, berths for Rio de Janeiro 2016 were earned by marathon runner Gulzhanat Zhanatbek and Olga Rypakova. Source: vksport.kz
Nurbota Bogenbayeva and Diana Rogachyova – Champions of Kazakhstan
The most “productive” discipline for our young athletes was hurdling. In this event, we won two gold, one silver, and one bronze medal. In the girls’ 60 m hurdles, Nurbota Bogenbayeva claimed victory. Notably, she showed a weaker result in the final than in the heats, yet it was still enough to win — such is her margin in speed and technique. Diana Rogachyova won the 300 m hurdles, outperforming, among others, Bogenbayeva, who finished third in this distance. The only medal for the boys in hurdling was won by Ramiz Kartaev, who finished third in the 60 m event. In other disciplines, the “productivity” still leaves much to be desired. In the flat 300 m race, Dmitry Panin managed to win a bronze medal in competition with nearly sixty opponents. Regina Mitrofanova was just a little unlucky, finishing fourth in the 1000 m race and уступing her podium place to Kamila Kosbaulina. The advantage of the capital’s athlete over our representative was only 0.16 seconds. Meanwhile, pole vaulter Arman Kenesbek and hammer thrower Darya Demchenko were almost “destined” to reach the podium, as they had only one and two competitors respectively. In the team standings of the Championship, the East Kazakhstan Region team finished in fourth place. 1st place — Nurbota Bogenbayeva (EKR) – 9.572nd place — Anastasia Golenkova (Karaganda Region) – 9.643rd place — Maria Olkhovik (Karaganda Region) – 9.674th place — Darya Demchenko (EKR) – 9.705th place — Svetlana Malezhina (EKR) – 9.75 Boys (8 participants): 1st place — Maksat Umurzakov (Pavlodar Region) – 9.002nd place — Ramiz Kartaev (EKR) – 9.093rd place — Denis Fefelov (South Kazakhstan Region) – 9.13 300 m Hurdles. Girls (16 participants): 1st place — Diana Rogachyova (EKR) – 48.442nd place — Adeliya Nazilova (South Kazakhstan Region) – 49.433rd place — Nurbota Bogenbayeva (EKR) – 49.458th place — Irina Skripnikova (EKR) – 52.86 Boys (12 participants): 1st place — Aleksandr Khvatyev (Kostanay Region) – 42.112nd place — Nikolay Karuzin (South Kazakhstan Region) – 43.743rd place — Ramiz Kartaev (EKR) – 44.27
