Another year is coming to an end. Currently, all specialists are summarizing the results of the last 12 months and conducting various reports. This time is also very important for athletes. It's time to take stock of successes and failures, successes and failures, highlights and injuries. Compares with last year's results. Seems to be on track for this year. In this regard, domestic cycling masters have something to offer. In particular, students of the capital's Olympic training center took part in about 70 international competitions this year. As a result, 142 medals were won. 37 of them won gold, 55 silver and 50 bronze medals. It should be noted that all indicators are one step higher than last year.

All of this is the result of extensive work done several years ago. Specialists in this field have taken comprehensive measures to ensure the sustainability of the domestic cycle path. That is, now the priority is not chasing a good figure, but creating conditions for this figure. In particular, a special training program was developed for athletes in athletics. In the past, the center's students traveled in both directions. And now the preparation is much more systematic. As a result, the performance has improved.

- Each athlete should choose a direction that suits him, feels comfortable, and it is important to work hard along the way. In this regard, the initiative of the Olympic Training Center was successful. We immediately noticed that our students' performance improved. Every second, even the smallest detail, plays a big role in the fight on the track. Our athletes have improved their skills both on the road and on the track. This is evidenced by the results of international competitions. But we are not satisfied with this achievement. We need to learn the latest techniques in the world of sports and get what we need, - says the head coach of the youth team Ivan Sivash.

As for the latest techniques ... Now in the world of sports, sports medicine and sports science have advanced so far that in many competitions there are people who create teams just for this. In this regard, the Olympic Training Center is doing everything possible to keep up with the global trend. The center has a specialist and a psychologist. Athletes regularly train abroad. Particular attention is paid to the training of domestic specialists. In addition, there is the problem of providing training equipment and sportswear. Thanks to such large-scale and complex measures, the domestic cycle path has laid a solid foundation. Now our compatriots are treated with great respect at the continental and global levels. Knows as an adversary who does not give up easily. Appreciates skill.

- Gradually, competition within the country is growing. Previously, the track race was not given much attention. Recently, the mass character in the regions has increased, which has led to an increase in the level of domestic sports. Thanks to this, the national team began to attract strong athletes. Accordingly, international performance has improved. They will be in our center for 2 years. That is, at the age of 17-18 we try to teach everything that we know and become a professional track master. In general, I think the direction of development of the national track is correct. If we do not slow down, in the next few years we will become a team that will not return from every World Cup without a prize, - said the head coach of the youth team Ivan Sivash.

The cycle path in the country is well organized in the Nur-Sultan, Almaty and Karaganda regions. Akmola region has recently joined them. You may have heard of an athlete named Andrey Chugay. Andrey gave a natural impetus to the development of cycling in the region. Accordingly, people from the above regions form the core of the national team. Due to the improvement in the mass nature of sports, the number of students admitted to the Olympic training center has also increased. For example, this year this figure was 146 athletes. For comparison, there were 126 athletes last year. In addition, the level of Kazakhstani girls has increased recently. In the past, many were skeptical. However, after the recent achievements of our compatriots, we see that Kazakh girls are also less qualified than men. The beauties of the Olympic Training Center defend the honor of the country at international, continental and world competitions.

- The International Federation conducts a special rating. On this list, we have girls in the top 10. For example, in the individual competition, our athletes, such as Kristina Titovskaya or Akpeil Osim, took their places. Accordingly, they are open for participation in international competitions. We are also improving our performance in other areas of the track. In general, the preparatory work on the track requires a lot of financial support. We see no shortage in this regard. All conditions are created by the government, the competent ministry. Now we need to use it effectively and train strong athletes. After all, there are many talented and capable athletes. But there are not enough skills. Our goal is to combine these two qualities. I am confident that we will gradually reach our goal. In the near future, we will be releasing girls who will perform well at the World and Olympic Games, ”said the coach of the girls' national team Svetlana Tarasova.  

In 2019, 25 students of the Olympic Training Center became international masters of sports. There are 24 masters of sports and 96 candidates for master of sports. This is also the result of the aforementioned large-scale measures. In addition, it will give impetus to the massive development of the central cycle path in the capital. In addition to the annual competitions for amateurs and children, a special cycling section for children was created in 2019. That is, children aged 5, 4, 3 and even 2 years old can now train and improve their skills on the Sarykarka cycling track in the city of Nur-Sultan. The center's management says it will not stop at this success. To date, the plan for 2020 has been clarified. Now it is necessary to continue in this direction, to continue the path of victory and success.
