At the Tokyo Olympics, Kazakhstan's team set several anti-records. First of all, our athletes have never returned from the major games of the four-year period without gold medals. Second, our boxers. They are the main hope of the Kazakhstani fans for the gold. But not this time. They got only 2 bronze medals awarded to Saken Bibossynov and Kamshybek Kunkabayev. What was the reason for such a performance and what reforms are waiting for the Kazakhstani boxing? We talk to Bakhtiyar Artayev, vice president of the Boxing Federation of Kazakhstan.
