Kazakh athletes in assyk atu gear up for World Nomad Games

In Shymkent, the national team in assyk atu is intensively preparing for the fifth World Nomad Games. The participants have worked out their game strategy and even have different types of assyks. The Molzhigitov brothers, Nurkissa, Nurzhigit, and Nurkanat, are masters of their craft. Great hopes are placed on these athletes. Notably, there are various types of the game, including taike, buk, shik, alshy, and others. According to the athletes, the main thing is not victory but the opportunity to demonstrate to the world the importance of preserving traditions and culture in the modern world and developing national sports.

«Every nation has its own national sports. For example, the Japanese have judo, the Chinese have table tennis, while assyk atu and Kazakh kuresi are our national sports. We hope to achieve excellent results and win the gold,» said Nurkanat Molzhigitov, member of the national team in assyk atu.

«The training camps were held four times. The final training session will take place in Astana on August 27. Our results are quite good. We will make every effort and fight for first place,» said Nurzhigit Molzhigitov, member of the national team in assyk atu.

Notably, the fifth World Nomad Games will feature more than 20 national sports, with athletes from Shymkent participating in six of them.
