The team of Kazakhstan finished the Asian Youth Athletics Championship ended with a total of six medals, El.kz reports citing the press service of the National Olympic Committee of Kazakhstan.
That’s why the gold medal in the heptathlon by Polina Kuzubova and the silver in the decathlon by Askar Omirzak stand out in particular.
Even the four bronze medals won in Saudi Arabia were modest in number. They were earned by pole vaulter Dmitriy Shkerdin, heptathlete Asylzat Kydyrbay, and 400m hurdlers Kirill Savchenko and Evelina Ryabkova.
In the medal standings, Kazakhstan is in tenth place. The first was China, the second place was taken by the team of Uzbekistan, and Japan closed the top three.
