V Summer Triathlon Games of Kazakhstan ended in Karaganda

The second and final competitive day of the V Summer Triathlon Games of the Republic of Kazakhstan was held today in Karaganda. In the program of the day, 6 teams from Nur-Sultan, Shymkent, Akmola, Turkestan and East Kazakhstan regions were the first to compete, whose rosters will forever remain in the history of the Kazakhstan professional triathlon as the first participants in the national championship in the Mixed Relay discipline.

Each team included four Elite athletes (2 women + 2 men) and each of them covered a distance consisting of 250 m swimming, 6.6 km cycling and 1600 m running. The hot thirty-degree weather complicated the seemingly easy distance for athletes.

Nevertheless, where there is a struggle, there will always be winners. And the winner of this race was the team of the Akmola region, which included Nadezhda Bekmaganbetova, Ayan Beisenbaev, Ashraf Kamalova and Meirlan Iskakov. The team showed the result of 1 hour 29 minutes and 13 seconds. On the second line are the representatives of Shymkent. Bibizhan Kaldykhanova, Daniil Zubtsov, Hafiza Gulturaeva and Semen Pivovarov showed well-coordinated work and won silver medals with a time of 1 hour 40 minutes and 13 seconds. The team of Turkestan region with such athletes as Milena Saprina, Medet Nurgaliev, Aruzhan Amanzholova and Erassyl Amanzholov was on the third place. The result of the third team is 1 hour 43 minutes.

Next, the Age Groupers came out to test the route of the city of miners, who played rating points of the  TEMIRADAM Cup VII stage. 38 athletes in the individual standings and 2 relay teams representing Nur-Sultan, Shymkent, Moscow, Tashkent and the Karaganda region covered the “sprint” distance - 750 m swimming, 20 km bike and 5 km running.

The absolute best result of the track among men was demonstrated by a guest from sunny Tashkent Andrey Sharipov - 1 hour 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Well, the beautiful half of the participants have the best time with the owner of the TEMIRADAM Cup 2018 Assel Sadvokasova (Nur-Sultan) - 1 hour 23 minutes and 7 seconds. It is noteworthy that both Andrei Sharipov and Asel Sadvokasova won the Karaganda stage of the TEMIRADAM Cup for the second year in a row. Both athletes became winners in the overall standings of the 2018 race. In the team standings, the first place went to the Drive Team from the Karaganda region for the result of 1 hour 11 minutes 6 seconds.
