A new record from Mikhail Litvin!
A new record from Mikhail Litvin! Back in the morning session of the first competition day, Litvin from North Kazakhstan Region set a record for Kazakhstan in the 400 m. But this did not seem enough for the 19-year-old guy. In the final run of the evening session, he also broke his morning record! For the first time in the history of our indoor athletics, an athlete was able to run 400 m in less than 47 seconds! Mikhail “took off” 0.22 seconds from his morning record! This, my friends, is phenomenal! Especially when you consider that Litvin has been involved in athletics for only 3 years, and before that he played football. Over the past two weeks, Litvin has managed to set four Kazakh records in this discipline at once. Why did the guy “burst” in Ust-Kamenogorsk? – Because the conditions here are better than in any arena in Kazakhstan, – the main character of the first competitive day of the Championship answers this question. – There are just beautiful turns here, the first track, it is very convenient to run along it. I will still try to become stronger, win and please the fans. Now I’m going to try to break the junior record of Kazakhstan at outdoor stadiums in Almaty in May. Impressed by such a serious success of a very young guy, the leadership of the Athletics Federation of the East Kazakhstan region, represented by Denis Rypakov, decided to reward Litvin with a cash prize of 50,000 tenge. 400 m running.
