The handball player Polina Mikhailova, who won the bronze medal at the Asian Games as part of the national team, was supposed to receive her award from the hands of Akim of East Kazakhstan Region Berdybek Saparbayev, but her team was playing at that time, so our extreme striker could not escape.

We were in the sector for more than two hours
