A special highlight was a cheerleading performance by students from School-Gymnasium No. 38, who brightened the event for everyone. Following the ceremony, the athletics competitions began, alongside the “Healthy Athlete” program, which featured two components: “Healthy Eyes” and “Healthy Lifestyle.” The “Healthy Eyes” program was delivered in partnership with the East Kazakhstan Mother and Child Center, which provided ophthalmologist Dr. Zarina Adilbekova and necessary medical equipment. Athletes diagnosed with vision issues received treatment recommendations and eyeglass frames. The “Healthy Lifestyle” program was supported by the East Kazakhstan Healthy Lifestyle Center, which provided specialists and informational materials. After examinations, each athlete received healthy living brochures and fruit. Student volunteers from the Ust‑Kamenogorsk Medical College actively supported the screenings. During lunch, all participants received a hot meal provided by Pizza Blues LLP, which sponsored meals for 100 people. After lunch, the “Unified Sports” relay resumed. The event concluded with an awards ceremony, honoring every athlete for their achievements.

Volunteers from Group 14‑111sr of the East Kazakhstan College of Management and Technology greatly contributed to the program. Held ahead of Kazakhstan’s national holiday, the sports festivities included development games with national flair. To build coordination and speed, children played roles as horses and jockeys in pairs. In the next phase, children participated in bouncing‑ball races. To promote mobility, agility, and aim, a bowling activity was introduced. A highlight of the celebration was a cultural dance performance by the student volunteers, who shared a traditional Kazakh dance with the children, resulting in much joy and participation. The arena’s management delighted the children by flying a model plane inside the dome, performing aerobatic maneuvers to the children’s delight. The sports celebration continued with a relay race. In conclusion, children, volunteers, and social workers engaged in a friendly tug‑of‑war—indeed, friendship won! As always, the event’s most touching moment was the distribution of participation gifts. Each child received an individual prize. The children’s joy, laughter, and smiles were the primary goals of this event! Координатор проекта Special Olympics в ВКО Ольга Свириденко

Athletes with special needs

The strongest athletes with special needs are identified in jumping and running disciplines. The age of the participants is very different – the oldest of the athletes has already turned 38 years old! The Special Olympics program has been operating in Kazakhstan for 25 years.

The project has been implemented in East Kazakhstan Region since 2013. The main centers for the development of sports among people with intellectual disabilities are Ust–Kamenogorsk, Semey, Ayagoz and the village of Kalbatau. Even Olympic Champion Olga Rypakova took part in the opening of the competition. By the way, the arena bearing the name of our triple jump prima has been home to athletes under the Special Olympics program for almost a year now.
