Kazakh heavyweight Valeria Aksenova did not reach the semi-finals of the Strandzha Cup international tournament, which takes place in Sofia (Bulgaria), bbabo.net correspondent reports. But our delegation retained more than two dozen candidates for medals.
In the quarterfinal duel, the Kazakhstani lost ahead of schedule to Nandini from India and was unable to provide our team with a third medal at the small world championship.
Aksenova could repeat the result already achieved by Lyazzat Kungeibaeva (over 81) and Abzal Kuttybekov (up to 92).
Let us add that earlier Kazakhstani boxers knocked out three winners of the 2021 World Championship in a row, and two more of our athletes competed in the category up to 60 kilograms.
