Pupils of the A. Moldagulova Olympic Reserve Boarding School-College of the Karaganda region showed excellent results in this tournament.
Among them is Yaroslav Zasimovich, a representative of a famous sports dynasty. He won a bronze medal in high jump.
- At first I was fond of wrestling, but then I saw my grandfather and brother jumping, and I decided to continue the family business. I want to get into the national team. There is a Kazakhstan championship ahead. My grandfather trains me. He said I have potential, - says Yaroslav.
The athlete's mentor is the famous Sergey Gennadyevich Zasimovich, a Soviet track and field athlete and ex-European record holder (1984). His best result - 236 centimeters - still remains the record for Kazakhstan in high jump.
