Today in Kapshagai the Open Cup of the Republic of Kazakhstan second stage in triathlon among Elite athletes was held. The participants were supposed to compete at a standard distance, but the storm intensified in the morning with strong gusts of wind forced the judges to cancel the swim. The format was changed to a duathlon, which consisted of 5 km run, 40 km bike and 10 km run.
The podium among men was shared by Almaty resident Anuar Turubaev, who won first place with a 2:09:18, and Semyon Pivovarov (Kostanay region), who took second place with a time of 2:11:39.
For the women, only Daria Bychkova from Almaty made it to the start, finishing in 2:28:48 and earning ranking points.
Considering the preparation of some athletes for the upcoming continental championship in Cholpon-Ata, as well as the postponement and cancellation of the last competitions in Pavlodar, Karaganda and Aktobe due to COVID-19, not all of the Ellite managed to come to Kapshagai. However, despite the cool weather, the second competition day promises to be very hot: 95 unders are expected to start within the framework of the RK Open Triathlon Cup.
We remind you, that the events were organized with the support of the general partners: the National Welfare Fund Samruk-Kazyna JSC, the Samruk Kazyna Trust Social Projects Development Fund and the Eurasian Resources Group, also financial partner Sport Qory Tourism and Sports Industry Support Fund.
