Satbayev University team is continuing to win the first places at Republican Universiade

Kazakhstan XII Summer Universiade in Aktau is continuing. The athletics competition has ended, the first place among the women's teams and the third place among the youth teams were won by Polytech teams! In addition to the victory in the overall standings, the athletes also brought 21 medals won by them in various disciplines of athletics.

Women's team captain Snezhana Kolesnikova shared her impressions of the competition:

- We were considered the noisiest and the most confident team, and we just enjoyed the ongoing competitions. Competition was strong, many champions of Kazakhstan participated in it, but after all we won. I am proud of each of the guys, because they have been practicing not so long ago, and the results exceed expectations. For this, we need to thank our coaches Yuri Frolov and Igor Devyatyarov. The guys were energized throughout the contest, their sparkling eyes said that was not the last victory, that was just the beginning of our common path.

Alongside, it is a great experience and the acquisition of new skills of independent living. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to show myself at the competition!

The competitions were held for two days. The award ceremony took place on June 3. There is no athletics section at the university, but there is a presidential all-around section.
