They were warmly welcomed at the Astana international airport by ministry representatives, relatives, fans, federation representatives and journalists.

After the victory at the Asian Games, our team immediately went to Italy and participated in the World Cup in Milan. Kazakhstani short track athletes won a bronze medal in the 5,000-meter relay. Adil Galiakhmetov, Gleb Ivchenko, Denis Nikisha and Mersaid Zhaksybayev competed in the final. This is our second prize in the 2024-2025 World Tour in short track. Previously, in December 2024, the women's team won a bronze medal at a distance of 3,000 meters.

A bright success in Milan is a continuation of the victory in Harbin. At the 9th Winter Asian Games, the Kazakhstan national team won the gold medal in the 5,000-meter relay, proving that they are the best team in the region. Both the victory at the Asian Games and the medal at the World Cup prove the high level of the national team, its systematic training, and its global competitiveness in short track.
