Six Ust-Kamenogorsk athletes will go to the Asian Championship

The beginning of the summer season has opened up unprecedented horizons for some of our athletes. Alexander Aksyutin, Daria Demchenko, Alexandra Egorina, Anastasia Zavodina, Anastasia Kaloshina and Elizaveta Matveeva will defend the honor of Kazakhstan at the continental championship among senior boys and girls. Aksyutin and Egorina will try their hand at the Asian level in the 400 m. Zavodina, who won the Kazakhstan Long Jump Championship, will compete for gold this time in Bangkok. Considering that this athlete simply made it a rule to improve her personal records at every single start, it is quite realistic to count on this in the capital of Thailand. Anastasia Kaloshina showed her best result of the season in hammer throwing on home soil at the Ust-Kamenogorsk championship. Then her projectile flew over the 50 m mark. She performed worse at the Kazakhstan Championship in Almaty, but the desired result has already been achieved. Maybe she’s like the same Antaeus, drawing strength from her native land? Then she needs to take a small fraction of it in her luggage to Thailand, so that she does not lose face in a foreign country. Daria Demchenko (pictured), who will compete for Kazakhstan in the 100 m hurdles, tried on the crown again. After an extremely unsuccessful winter season, it was like she was born again in the summer. We hope that the spring update will benefit Daria in the future. And finally, Elizaveta Matveeva closes our magnificent six, who will not shame the honor of her hometown and the whole of Kazakhstan in the high jump sector. Her last result was 1.65 m. We hope that things will go even higher at the continental championship. The Asian Championship in Thailand starts on May 20 and will last until the 23rd of the same month. our portal will definitely follow the performance of our athletes.
