Honoring the winners of the XII Summer Universiade of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Chairman of the Board – Rector Yerlan Shulanov met with students participating in the XII Summer Universiade of Kazakhstan (Aktau). In these competitions, our athletes defend the honor of their alma mater in 4 sports: basketball, volleyball, athletics and swimming. Competitions on the water surface have already been completed. They were held for three days from May 25 among 14 teams. Of the six students who took part in the Universiade, 5 returned home with medals!

This is Miroslava Prigozhenko, a student of the FCS-22-1 group of the pedagogical faculty. She won 3 gold medals at once, becoming the champion at distances of 50, 100 and 200 meters freestyle!

Ivan Zhigulsky (gr. FRF-22, AF), Artem Litvinenko (gr. FCS-22-1, PF), Artem Radchenko (gr. B-22, FEDT), David Vishnyakov (gr. RISI-22, FEDT) received the bronze medal in the 4-by-50 meters relay. The swimmers were trained by the coach-teacher of the sports club of the University Kuzmenko D.

Yerlan Shulanov congratulated the participants on their victory, and wished good luck to those who are just about to have sports battles: "Regardless of whether you win places or not, we are still proud of you! We will support you in any case! It's not always possible to win, but the fact that you managed to prepare for the Universiade is already a great achievement. A sporty, healthy lifestyle is also for your good. Our North Kazakhstan land is rich in sports talents. We will be glad to see your victories too!".

Athletes will be the next to compete at the Universiade of Kazakhstan. They will perform from June 1 to June 4. We believe in and rooting for you!
