On February 8-10, the Kazakhstan Athletics Championship among senior boys and girls was held
The series of athletics starts in Ust-Kamenogorsk continues. According to the results of the competition, the East Kazakhstan region became the third in the team standings (24,209 points), losing to the teams from Karaganda region (26,707 points) and Almaty (25,620 points).
Efim Tarasov distinguished himself with a brilliant performance at the championship. For several years now, the Nakhodka athlete has been doing what he shows spectacular wrestling at the Ust-Kamenogorsk arena. In three days, the young man won as many as four gold medals. About this in more detail.
On the very first day of the competition, Tarasov was pleased with his performance in the 400 m run. Efim finished with a decent margin from his nearest opponent, more than 3 seconds, won his own time in the final race, and also became the only one who managed to run out of 49 seconds and show a result at the level of the CMC.
On the second day, the distance was half as long, the East Kazakhstan runner was pleased with the gold medal again. The status of the strongest was confirmed, the time shown was again at the level of the candidate for master of sports and the first step of the podium with a result of 22.20 seconds.
The other two “golds” were won in team wrestling, namely in the 4 x 200 m relay races and the mixed relay race at the same distance.
The athlete himself is pleased with the performance.
– I am satisfied with the performance. Efim shares. – Everything happened as planned. It turned out to win and it cannot but please (smiles – approx.the author). In the relay races, I asked the team to work as much as possible and not bring a strong gap, well, then it was up to me. According to the plans, I have a recovery, and after that I will start preparing for the Asian championship!
By the way, plus another medal in the East Kazakhstan Region’s piggy bank from the relay team, but only 4 to 400 meters, without Tarasov’s participation and a prize-winning second place.
The women’s national team for 4 to 200 also made a far from easy impression on the audience, and justified the expectation of all those who sincerely supported the participants. The first place was not easy, but it’s not for nothing that this kind of athletics is usually watched in one go.
The composition of relay teams:
Young men:
4×200 m . (1st place) – Andrey Ignatikov, Efim Tarasov, Ernur Sovetkhanov, Vladislav Nurek. (1:35.70)
4×400 m (2nd place) – Andrey Ignatikov, Ernur Sovetkhanov, Yakov Lavrentiev, Ulan Baurzhanuly.
MIX:
4×200 m . (1st place) – Efim Tarasov, Ernur Sovetkhanov, Ayim Kaysanova, Sofia Bezverkhova. (1:39.49)
Girls:
4×200 m . (1st place) – Ayim Kaysanova, Sofia Bezverkhova, Valeria Bromat, Anastasia Rypakova (1:46.61)
Andrey Ignatikov collected awards of all three types during the championship, gold and silver in relay races with his friends, but he won the bronze medal on his own in the 60 m hurdles with a score of 8.67 s.
Nikita Evdokimov managed to get on the list of medalists at the average distances of 1500 m and 3000 m. The athlete won bronze and silver medals. Nikita’s obvious rival was Azat Ramazanov from the North Kazakhstan region. Although, in the 1500 m run, the Almaty runner Ruslan Naumov turned out to be faster than the guys. It was he who set the rhythm for the participants from eastern and northern Kazakhstan, running in 4:07.77 he became the first.
Since there is not as much competition in pole vaulting as in other jumping athletics, it is sometimes possible to predict the outcome of the competition there. This does not always happen, although if you look at the number of participants, as this time, it could be ironically emphasized that no one will remain without a reward. Four participants, the youngest of them does not “take” a three-meter height, automatically yielding to his opponent. The representative of East Kazakhstan Region, Elnur Zhumabekov, came second with a result of 3.90 m. Even at the previous height, a struggle broke out between Elnur and Danil Artemyev from the Karaganda region. The fate of the guys was decided by the last third attempt at 3.80 m. Artemyev conceded to Zhumabekov, who in turn overcame the bar even higher. That’s where I stopped.
Ayim Kaysanova managed to climb the podium several times among the girls. Despite the merits of the girl in relay performances, the girl also showed good results in personal competitions. In the 400 m, the athlete became the third – 59.64 m.
The middle distances this time really turned out to be very profitable for medals. Two “gold” from Arina Gladysheva. This Ridder hardy athlete has done a great job for her field.
