“I estimate the results of this trip more than positively,” noted Igor Mazurenko. - We were met very warmly, and the championship of Kazakhstan was organized and held at a high level. We also managed to reach historical agreements on the participation of Kazakh athletes in professional competitions, the first of which will be held later this year. I believe that this is a merit of the leadership of the federation, as well as the policy of Kazakhstan on the development of sports. The success of the Kazakh arm wrestling in the international arena, in addition to the work of coaches and representatives of the federation, is the continuity of generations, respect for sports veterans, the transfer of experience and emphasis on the education of young athletes. I am sure that within a few years Kazakhstan will take the first positions in the world arm wrestling”.
