Members of the Kazakhstan’s national team have begun
training for kokpar and kok boru sports at the Kazanat hippodrome in Astana
where the competitions for the fifth World Nomad Games will be held. A total of
12 athletes from each team are set to participate in these sports.
«Kazakhstan’s national kokpar team is
fully prepared to participate in the fifth World Nomad Games. We arrived in Astana early so that the horses had enough time to adapt. Today, we assessed the field,
which is of the highest quality. Since our country hosts this large-scale event, there is certainly a great sense of responsibility. We will do our utmost
to achieve victory,» said Kurmanbek Turganbek, captain of Kazakhstan’s
national kokpar team.
«We came to train for the fifth World Nomad Games. The
field and stadium are in great condition, and the track surface is comfortable
for the horses. Our preparation has been going well, and we’ve been training
for about three months now,» said Ulan Baitoreev, member of Kazakhstan’s national kokpar team.
Those wishing to witness the vibrant and dynamic
competition of kokpar and kok boru riders live can visit the hippodrome in
Astana from September 9 to 12, the scheduled dates for these sporting events.
Notably, tickets for the opening ceremony and all competitions can be purchased
