Future Olympic Games. Named the prospects of the national team of Kazakhstan in ski jumping

Summing up the performance at the 2022 Olympics, the head coach of the Kazakh ski jumping team Kairat Biekenov noted that the athletes have good prospects for the next Games, bbabo.net correspondent reports.

The country was represented in Beijing by two participants - 17-year-old Danil Vasiliev and 22-year-old Sergey Tkachenko. According to Biekenov, the young team has a good chance of success in Milan in 2026.

"Daniil Vasiliev - we had the youngest participant in the competition. This first Olympic Games. We qualified on the small hill. We did not qualify on the big hill, but the guys tried to show their best results.

At the beginning of the season, Sergei Tkachenko had a positive test, missed the first stages, rolling in, then got in shape and approached the Olympic Games a little bit not in the condition in which he would like. Vasiliev performed everywhere, everywhere there was the youngest participant, slowly gaining shape. The only thing that did not let him loosen up and show a good result is that he is young. I just didn’t manage, I think, with my ambitions, because he had a good mood, motivation itself, he was ready to win, these are his internal tasks.

Of course, we planned to win a little more Olympic licenses so that more of our athletes would compete, but we did not have a single license until September 2021. Thanks to the National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Ministry of Sports, we held a summer Grand Prix, where Tkachenko was sixth and Vasilyev was 14th. These are the historical results of the summer Grand Prix, which allowed our country two Olympic licenses. The preparations were in a very good direction, it was just difficult with the pandemic. And so, we were ready. The team is very young, and there are still young guys in the team who will still show. For the future Olympic Games, this is a very promising team. We will try, work and perform even better in the future," Biekenov said.
