On this day, 69 male athletes from 14 countries of the Asian continent, including China, Singapore, Syria, Nepal, Mongolia, Japan, Taipei, Hong Kong, the Philippines, South Korea, Macau, Iran and Malaysia, started in the Elite and U23 categories . The best athlete of the continental championship was determined at the “standard” distance - 1500 m swimming, 40 km cycling and 10 km running.

In the category of athletes under 23 years old, our country was represented by three athletes - Daryn Konysbaev, Meirlan Iskakov and Semen Pivovarov. And here all the attention of the coaching staff and fans was riveted on Semen Pivovarov, who repeated his feat, which he demonstrated at the World Cup in Chengdu. Semen along the entire distance accompanied Daryn Konysbaev, working for the team success. Thanks to Semen Pivovarov’s personal dedication and well-coordinated confident teamwork, today's success was a success - Daryn Konysbaev managed to get on the podium, winning the first gold in the U23 category of the Asian championship. And Meyrlan Iskakov won the bronze medal.
