As a result of two days of intense battles on the left and right arms:
— Zalkar Nurlanov took first place among the "seniors";
— He also secured first place in the junior category.
“The fact that one athlete won gold in two categories highlights his hard work, discipline, and true sporting character,” added R. Abdybek uulu.
Additionally:
— Second place in the DMCHA was taken by Zhanibek Abdykadyrov;
— Second place among juniors was secured by Elmirek Mukambetov in the weight category of 60 kg.
“These matches were not just competitions, but a real struggle for the honor of the homeland. The only difficulty was financial issues when traveling abroad. However, the guys show excellent diligence, coming to training every day,” noted the coach.
