After holding three test athletics competitions in the summer of this year, the main athletics competitions “Altay Kids Cup”, consisting of 3 stages, were launched in the territory of the East Kazakhstan region.
The Swiss UBS KIDS CUP, the most popular and massive model of children’s sports competitions in Europe, is taken as a basis. The competition program includes the 3 most accessible types of athletics for children:
running 60 meters;
The ball throw is 150 grams;
long jump with a running start with an extended repulsion zone of 60 cm.
Competitions are held in 3 age categories: boys and girls – 2003-2004, 2005-2006, 2007-2008.
To cover the entire territory of the East Kazakhstan region, the ALTAY KIDS CUP competition program is divided into 3 stages.
The third stage is the final one, which will be held on November 4-5 this year in Oskemen, in which 342 athletes will take part, competing for the teams of their districts and cities of the Region. The winners and prize-winners of the final competitions will receive valuable prizes from the Altay Athletics professional club: smartphones for 1st place, wireless music speakers for 2nd place, and fitness watches for 3rd place.
These competitions, which are held for the first time according to this model and require a certain test period, were initiated by the President of the Athletics Federation, D.K. Akhmetov, in order to increase the number of children involved in athletics and select the most talented among them.
Based on the results and results of the competition, an analysis will be carried out for the possible holding of these starts throughout the Republic.
