On December 15, Ust-Kamenogorsk hosted the city’s open athletics championship.
Competitions among boys and girls born in 2002-2003, 2004 and younger were held within the walls of the athletics arena. The start program consisted of eleven disciplines: 60 m running, 300 m running, 600 m running, 1000 m running, 60 m hurdles running, 4 200 m relay running, high jump, long jump, pole vault, triple jump and shot put.
Among the participants of the competition, it was impossible not to notice Efim Tarasov, a participant in the Youth Olympic Games 2018. Recall that the UOI was held in October this year in the capital of Argentina. Our athlete then showed a decent result at the 400 m distance and managed to get on the list of finalists for the main start of the outgoing year. Tarasov’s personal result is 48.93 s.
At the Ust-Kamenogorsk Championship, Efim took part in the 300 m run, and finished first with a score of 35.18 s. After the start, the athlete shared his emotions and told a little about his plans for the near future.
– Efim, you competed in the 300 m race at the competitions, since there was no 400-meter race in the program. The result is at the level of 35.18 s – are you satisfied with the result?
– Yes, I am happy with the result. This competition was more like a training session (smiles). Now I have fully recovered from Argentina and am preparing for the start in Novosibirsk, which will take place at the end of December. In January, a tournament for the prizes of Olga Rypakova awaits, a little later preparations for “Asia”, well, and further down the list
According to the list, these words are relevant in the near future, because the winter competition season is ahead of the athletes, and 2019 promises to be very eventful!
