An international-standard rowing canal has been opened in
Turkistan. This sports
complex, unique in Central
Asia, will serve as a key
center for the development of rowing in Kazakhstan. Athletes will train and
compete there in kayak and
canoe events, and stages of the
World and Asian Cups will also be held at the venue. In addition, the canal’s
water will be used for the city’s irrigation system and to water the green
belt. Notably, the project was
implemented in accordance with the directive of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
«Currently, more than
6,000 people in the country are engaged in these sports. The national team
includes over 300 athletes who proudly represent Kazakhstan on the world stage.
I am confident that the new canal will give them the opportunity to reach new
heights and win even more medals. It is also worth noting that the opening of
this facility will benefit the city’s residents,» noted Kazakh Minister of Tourism and Sports Yerbol
Myrzabossynov.
«This sports complex will enhance the prestige of not only Turkistan but of the entire country. The canal will not only boost the development of sports in the region but also make a significant contribution to increasing the city’s tourism potential,» said Turkistan region governor Nuralkhan Kusherov.
