For the Honor of the School
For the Honor of the School The ceremonial event “For the Honor of the School” was dedicated to the Day of the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Abishuly Nazarbayev. The event was attended by the Secretary of the Regional Maslikhat, Vladimir Mikhailovich Golovatyuk, and the Head of the Department of Physical Culture and Sports of East Kazakhstan Region, Yeldos Nurlanovich Chikenov. The best young athletes of the East Kazakhstan SDYUSSHOR in athletics received congratulations and guidance for their future sporting achievements in the name of our Motherland — the Republic of Kazakhstan. Additionally, on behalf of the East Kazakhstan Athletics Federation, the young athletes were presented with sets of competition sportswear and branded spike shoes.
Happy Birthday!
The athletics team of the East Kazakhstan SDYUSSHOR congratulates Olympic champion Olga Rypakova on her birthday! Dear Olga Sergeevna, we wish you strong health, prosperity, and the fulfillment of all your wishes!
“A jump that lasts a lifetime…”
Sport is work, and sport at the Olympic level is daily, extremely hard work, requiring full dedication physically, emotionally, and mentally. “…The competitions were very tough, but very happy for me. I have been working toward this for a long time, and finally my moment arrived. Everything today was my work,” says Olga after what seemed like the recent Olympic final. Time flies, and in an interview with “VK,” London Olympic Games Champion Olga Rypakova shares her impressions of the recent World Championship, changes in the lives of athletes in the region, and, of course, her plans for the next Olympics, where she will defend her champion title. – Olya, how did you come into sports? – You could say I have been involved in sports since birth, as I was born into a sporting family. My father, who is also my coach, took me to the stadium from early childhood. At the age of 8, I was enrolled in an athletics group. My first coach was Tatyana Anatolyevna Nazarova, and later my father became my coach. – Do you remember your first competition? How was it? – My first and most memorable competition was the Kazakhstan Championship when I was 12. I was two years younger than my competitors, yet I won in two events – long jump and 60 m hurdles. That’s probably when I first felt the true taste of victory. – Your first major achievements were in heptathlon, how did you switch to triple jump? – In 2007, at the Spartakiad of the Peoples of Kazakhstan, the regional head coach Tamara Ivanovna Buchatskaya asked me to compete in the triple jump for the region. To everyone’s surprise, competing in this event for the first time, I achieved the World Championship standard by jumping 14.07 m. At the Asian Championship, I also competed in triple jump and won with 14.69 m. After that, my coach and I decided to focus on this event. – Do you think if you had stayed in heptathlon, your career would have been as successful? – I don’t think so. I realized I was not physically suited for heptathlon. My strong events were high jump and long jump. Naturally, I didn’t have high speed or enough throwing strength. I do not regret practicing heptathlon; it gave me a great foundation for success in triple jump. – Congratulations on your latest World Championship medal, this time bronze. Was it frustrating to miss silver by 1 cm? – Thank you. Not at all. I am happy with this result because these are my first high results after returning from maternity leave. I am very happy to be back in shape. – What emotions did you feel after the World Championship? – I regained my confidence as an athlete and a strong desire to delight my fans by showing high results. – The World Championship and the Olympics are the largest competitions. How was the London Olympics different from the Beijing World Championship? – Mindset. I went to London to win, while at the World Championship, it was important for me to feel the spirit of competition and show a respectable result. I believe I succeeded. – How do you prepare mentally for a major start? – For me, the main thing is to start in a good mood. I always prepare to fight until the last attempt and focus on technically correct execution of the jump. – Olympic gold must have been your dream, and it came true! What are your next plans? Maybe a world record attempt? – Breaking the 20-year-old world record is my dream. But for now, the main goal is preparing for the Rio Olympics and defending my Olympic title if possible. – You are a mother of two children. Your elder daughter Nastya is already trying athletics quite successfully; is it her own choice? – We encouraged her decision because athletics develops the child comprehensively, and whether she pursues athletics professionally in the future, time will tell. It will ultimately be her choice. – Will your son Kirill continue the family tradition? – Kirill is 2 years old and very active. When I take him to training, he jumps and runs with joy, but only time will tell if he dedicates himself to sports. For me, the main thing is that my children develop physically, spiritually, culturally, and emotionally. – In 2014, an important event occurred – the opening of the arena named after you. Could you tell more? – It was a joyful event for all athletes of East Kazakhstan Region. It was a dream of several generations in athletics. Now we have all the conditions for training, and we don’t have to go away for camps in the off-season. This is a huge contribution to the future of athletics. Some work is still unfinished. I am very grateful to KazZinc for financial support, thanks to which our athletics center construction will finally be completed. – What events pleased you this year? – This year, our Athletics Center hosted Kazakhstan Championships for all age categories. A Kazakhstan record was set in the men’s 400 m at the senior Championship. Many athletes achieved high results thanks to the arena meeting international standards. The number of children wanting to do athletics continues to grow, which is very pleasing. – What advice would you give young athletes taking their first steps, and young coaches? – Always be confident in victory, set goals, achieve them with perseverance, strength of spirit, and skill! Always stay fit and healthy, as it is very important for an athlete! Thank you for the interview, once again congratulations on the bronze at the Beijing World Championship! We look forward to seeing you at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, and of course, we wish a repeat of the London final! Source: “Vestnik Kompanii” newspaperPhoto: Personal archive of the Rypakova family
Tatyana Nikolenko’s Benefit Performance
The tournament became a true benefit performance for the versatile athlete Tatyana Nikolenko. She became the most decorated athlete of the championship, stepping onto the podium four times. Tatyana took first place in long jump, 50m sprint, 50m hurdles, and 200m sprint. Considering her recent fourth-place finish at a national tennis tournament in Almaty, Nikolenko’s October has been exceptionally successful. And the month isn’t over yet – on the 31st, the East Kazakhstan Regional Athletics Championship will kick off at the Olga Rypakova Athletics Center. Beyond Nikolenko’s success, Akylzhan Toktagalin’s performance was a highlight as he equaled his personal record in the high jump. For the second time in his career, he cleared the 1.65m bar, matching his best result! Several athletes became double city champions that day: Duman Kenzhebek (50m and 50m hurdles), Angelina Malkova (50m and 300m), Alexandra Egorina (50m and 300m), Amir Aimkanov (50m and 300m), Vladimir Feshchenko (50m and 300m), and Zhandos Zhakupov (50m and 200m). In total, about 30 athletes claimed championship titles during the event. 50M HURDLES Boys (born 2004 and younger): Duman Kenzhebek – 8.28 Sultan Bazyrbek – 9.72 Bogdan Ansenyev – 10.26 Girls (born 2005 and younger): Tatyana Nikolenko – 8.44 300M RUN Girls (2002-03): Angelina Malkova – 46.63 Anastasia Skvortsova – 52.34 Boys (2000-01): Vladimir Feshchenko – 39.88 200M RUN Girls (2004 and younger): Tatyana Nikolenko – 30.78 Valeria Broma – 31.54 LONG JUMP Girls (2004 and younger): Tatyana Nikolenko – 4.18 Alina Nasipkazy – 3.44 Boys (2000-01): Arman Kenesbek – 5.11 50M SPRINT Girls (2004 and younger): Tatyana Nikolenko – 7.2 Valeria Bromai – 7.6 Boys (2002-03): Amir Aimkanov – 6.66 SHOT PUT Boys (2000-01): Danil Jhinikashvili – 11.37 Pavel Belogortsev – 10.61 HIGH JUMP Boys (2000-01): Akylzhan Toktagalin – 1.65 Vladislav Bakhtin – 1.4 Source: vksport.kz
Ramiz Kartaev and Alexandra Egorina – Two-Time Champions of the International Competitions in Bishkek
The tournament featured representatives from Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan. Our young compatriots especially excelled in hurdle races and relay events. Ramiz Kartaev from Semei secured a victory in the 110m hurdles and as part of the “4x100m” relay team. Alexandra Egorina demonstrated the best result in the 300m hurdles and the relay. Coupled with Nurbota Bogembaeva’s “bronze” in the 100m hurdles, the results in this discipline were truly beyond expectations. Anastasia Zavodina won a bronze medal in the girls’ long jump, while Alexander Aksyutin earned a similar medal in the 200m sprint. INTERNATIONAL ATHLETICS COMPETITIONS 100m Hurdles.

Ridder Secures Victory in the East Kazakhstan Cross-Country Championship
The competitions were held under unpleasant weather conditions. Strong winds kicked up clouds of dust on the dirt tracks of the local ski base where the championship took place. Combined with the challenging terrain, simply finishing the race from start to finish was a victory in itself. Unfortunately, not everyone succeeded. Even the famous marathon runner from Ridder, Andrey Leimenov, was unable to complete the 12 km race due to a back injury. Athletes from Ridder secured a convincing victory, long having monopolized the stayers’ distances in the region. They claimed seven out of fourteen possible gold medals! Moldir Seitkhanova and Tatyana Druzhina, who finished back-to-back in the 2 km race, met the Candidate for Master of Sports (CMS) standard. Across all categories, they were the only athletes to achieve this. Ust-Kamenogorsk took second place in the unofficial medal standings, while Semey secured third place. In total, representatives from 11 different settlements across East Kazakhstan won medals. EAST KAZAKHSTAN CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIP IN MEMORY OF A. N. TRUNOV 500M RUN.

Olga Rypakova Concluded Her Season in Brussels
Six athletes competed in the women’s triple jump sector: Ibargüen from Colombia, Ekaterina Koneva from Russia, world vice-champion Hanna Knyazyeva-Minenko from Israel, Kimberly Williams from Jamaica, Gabriela Petrova from Bulgaria, and, of course, Olga Rypakova. Besides the touching moments of saying goodbye to another summer season, many athletes in Brussels faced purely competitive objectives. Olga Rypakova, for instance, certainly aimed to defend her second-place standing in the overall Diamond League rankings. The 2012 London Olympic Champion could not climb any higher—Colombian Caterine Ibargüen had secured the top spot long before the final and could afford not to compete at all or jump at half-strength. However, the battle for the remaining two positions in the top three promised to be fierce. To displace Rypakova from her position, her closest pursuer and world season leader Ekaterina Koneva of Russia needed to win the stage and hope that our star compatriot would finish lower than second. Olga “helped” Koneva with the second part of that plan. A dip in form at the end of the season, compounded by a back injury, took its toll. Her first attempt was a foul, but after a second jump of 14.23m, Rypakova moved into second place for the stage behind Ibargüen, who had jumped only 3 cm further. She maintained this position after the third jump. However, past the halfway point, the competitors’ results began to improve sharply. Olga delivered her best jump in the final attempts—14.26m. We are no longer surprised by this, knowing Rypakova’s character, which allows her to find extra strength and improve at the decisive moment. The 14.26m jump earned Olga only fifth place in the final protocol, which suited Koneva perfectly. However, the Russian athlete failed to fulfill her own part of the plan. With a best effort of 14.37m, she fell 23 centimeters short of Caterine Ibargüen, who won yet another Diamond League stage. Following the season results, the Colombian took first place with 28 points. Trailing by 21 points, Rypakova finished second overall, while Ekaterina Koneva took third place with 6 points.

Zkrienova’s Another “Hat-trick”
Special attention from athletics experts and specialists was focused on two participants of the Asian Championship: Oryngul Zkrienova and Nadezhda Dubovitskaya. The latter, as a reminder, managed to win a bronze medal at the continental championship, so no one expected anything but a victory from the Semey-born athlete. Dubovitskaya did not disappoint her fans and coaches, jumping 165 cm. This result, while not her personal best, can be attributed to the fact that she tackled the last two heights alone, which often leads to fatigue and a lack of incentive for further progress. Veta Kharitonova from Ust-Kamenogorsk, who took second place, trailed the Asian Championship bronze medalist by 10 cm. Zkrienova made her competitive debut after a serious injury. Unfortunately, the damage prevented her from attending the World Youth Championships, so Oryngul enters the new season not only seeking to regain her form but possessed by a fierce desire for a rematch with fate. This means she will be relentless in upcoming starts—she has clearly missed the track, the competition, and the whistle of the wind in her ears during her four-month hiatus! Her first “victims” were her rivals in the 60m, 200m, and 60m hurdles. The fact that she faced a limited number of competitors in these disciplines was certainly not her problem. Among the young men, Timur Parygin from Semey was unrivaled in the sprints, winning both the 60m and 200m distances. For the most part, Timur was competing against himself. For instance, in the 60m preliminary heats, he clocked 7.36 seconds. The question was whether he could improve that time in the final. While he didn’t surpass it, he didn’t lose either, recording the exact same seconds and hundredths. Oleg Orlov from Ust-Kamenogorsk put up a great fight against Parygin in the final, falling short of first place by just a fraction of a second. Both will surely be invited to the autumn Kazakhstan Championship. Surprisingly, the only discipline to rival the sprints in terms of mass participation was the boys’ 1500m race. Eight athletes competed for the first-place title, with Alexander Lukyanov from Ridder emerging as the strongest. He finished a solid 5 seconds ahead of the runner-up, leaving the rest of the field even further behind. EAST KAZAKHSTAN REGION ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIP Age Category: born 1998-1999 60M RUN.

Young Hopes of East Kazakhstan Athletics
East Kazakhstan Region Championship: Day 1 Results The women’s 60m sprint was marked by a fierce rivalry between Anastasia Zavodina and Alexandra Egorina. The two Oskemen-based athletes competed with equal dedication in both the heats and the final. In the first round, Egorina had the upper hand, demonstrating excellent reaction time and exploding out of the blocks. Zavodina, who had a slower start, did everything she could to catch up, but the distance was too short. Alexandra’s final lead was a mere 0.05 seconds! The final was even more spectacular. This time, Zavodina left the blocks simultaneously with Egorina. Both athletes ran neck-and-neck until the finish line, where only a photo finish could determine the winner. Anastasia took the gold, beating her rival by a tiny margin of 0.01 seconds! However, if we calculate the total time spent by both athletes across the two races, Egorina still holds the overall advantage. Among the men, Semei’s Dmitry Panin emerged as a local “Usain Bolt,” leaving no chance for his rivals in every event he entered. He became a three-time regional champion, winning the 60m, 200m, and 400m races! No other sprinter could boast such consistency, as the runners-up were different in all three cases: Kartaev, Aksyutin, and Terentyev. Thus, Panin became the most decorated athlete of the championship’s first day. The long-distance events of the first day were dominated by athletes from Ridder. Yerbulat Tashmanov won the 1500m race, with Alexey Andryushchenkov taking second place (both finished just one second apart). In the women’s category, their fellow citizen Regina Mitrofanova took first place. A pleasant surprise was the high level of competition in the women’s 60m hurdles. While Nurbota Bogembaeva was previously the undisputed leader, her dominance was challenged on Friday: Svetlana Malezhina lost to the favorite by only 0.01 seconds! We hope this is just the beginning of a rivalry that will benefit both athletes. Overall, following all the events of the first competition day for this age category, the Oskemen team took first place with 12 gold medals. Athletes from Semei won five disciplines, and Ridder’s representatives reached the top of the podium twice. EAST KAZAKHSTAN REGION ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIP Age Category: Born 2000-2002 60 M RUN.
