Kazakh Athletes Shine at the International Mas-Wrestling Tournament in Moscow
An international mas-wrestling tournament among BRICS+ youth took place at the legendary Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN) in Moscow, gathering participants from 18 countries.
As part of the tournament, a roundtable on “Sports Diplomacy” was held, where we presented our own report. During the discussions, many speakers warmly recalled Kazakhstan and the 5th World Nomad Games in Astana, praising the high level of organization and the spirit of diplomacy of the Great Steppe.
Our mas-wrestlers once again confirmed Kazakhstan's leadership in this sport. The athletes became winners and medalists of the prestigious international competition:
🥇 Temirlan Shamet — Gold in the up to 80 kg category
🥉 Altyn Akylbek — Bronze in the 75+ kg category
🥉 Yuriy Lebed — Bronze in the up to 90 kg category
Ahead lies a series of tournaments both in Kazakhstan and abroad, where our athletes will continue to represent the country on the international stage. We will definitely share all the updates and victories of our team!

Congratulations to our champions and best wishes for more bright victories! 💪🇰🇿
