The grand opening of the freestyle and women's wrestling championships, dedicated to Defender of the Fatherland Day and the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, took place on May 7 at the K. Nurzhanov Athletics Arena. More than 150 boys and girls (born in 2009-2011) from all over Kazakhstan participate in it.  The organizers of the competition are the Department of Physical Culture and Sports of the Karaganda region and the Daulet Wrestling Training Center.

- This is a very important championship for novice wrestlers, - said the judge of the international category, Honored Master of Sports, Honored Coach of the Republic of Kazakhstan Alexander Alekseevich Mytsyk, - Many well-known athletes began their success with these competitions. Here, children are selected for the national teams of the regions to participate in the national championship. And the most important thing is that this tournament not only remains popular and significant among athletes, but also carries an educational moment, as it is dedicated to such a great holiday – Victory Day. The guys honored the memory of the war heroes with a minute of silence, and at that moment, I am sure, they had bright feelings of patriotism and pride for their great-grandfathers, for their peaceful country.
