Danil Musabaev and Nikita Tumakov from Karaganda rose to the first place in the world trampoline gymnastics ranking with a score of 179 points. The athletes have proven their leadership with a series of successful performances this season.

The World Championship started in February in Baku (Azerbaijan), where the Karaganda duo won silver. In July, the third stage of the Trampoline Gymnastics World Cup was held in the Portuguese city of Coimbra. Danil Musabaev and Nikita Tumakov took the fourth place, stopping one step away from the medal. Two months later, they won the next stage in Cottbus (Germany).

Karaganda trampolinists won medals at other prestigious competitions – the III Games of the CIS countries were held in Azerbaijan. 1,840 athletes from eight countries participated in the tournament.

- The competitions were very difficult, as the strongest participated in them, for example, the Olympic champion from Belarus Ivan Litvinovich, - said Sergey Vertyankin, the head coach of the national team of Kazakhstan and the senior coach of the Karaganda region in trampoline gymnastics. – But Nikita Tumakov, our youngest member of the team, was able to show an excellent result – he won a bronze medal, and he was the best in the preliminary stage.

This is Nikita's first international award in individual jumping.

Yerlan Tasmagambetov, another Karagandian, distinguished himself at the Games by taking third place in synchronized jumping.
