The Open Championship in Grappling Among Schoolchildren Took Place in Kara-Balta

In Kara-Balta, at the "Manas" sports complex, an open championship in grappling for schoolchildren took place.

About 100 young athletes from nine teams representing Bishkek, Aleksandrovka, and Kara-Balta participated in this tournament.

The students of the Jayil Children's and Youth Sports School, who prepared for the competitions under the guidance of their new coach Syrgak Zhaparkulov, achieved significant success. Twenty of his trainees participated in the tournament, and most of them received prize places.

The best in the weight category up to 38 kg was Zakir Butobaev, who confidently conducted all his matches. Silver medals were awarded to Erbol Zhaparkulov (up to 28 kg) and Almir Melisov (up to 45 kg). The bronze medalists were Nurkhan Kyzurov and Ali Saipzhanov (up to 34 kg), Abubakir Urustenbekov (up to 40 kg), Kadyr Zuvurov (up to 58 kg), and Erbolot Absatarov (up to 73 kg).

The judging panel noted the high physical preparation of the team. All winners and prize winners received commemorative medals and diplomas.

The award ceremony for the jiu-jitsu athletes trained by Almaz Mambetov from the "Manas" sports club, who is also one of the organizers of the championship, was equally interesting. His trainees demonstrated consistent results in various weight and age categories.
