Head coach Yuri Melnikov, the national weightlifting team of Kazakhstan, summed up the interim results of the Asian Championship, which is taking place these days in Ashgabat, especially for the site.

– The young weightlifter Albert Linder (up to 69 kg) performed excellently at the Asian Championships. He won our only gold so far at this continental championship. He is only 21 years old. This is one of the future leaders of our team. Albert may well compete at the Tokyo Olympics if he continues to progress. Aidar Kazov, who performs in weight category up to 77 kg. He performed successfully on the Ashgabat platform, completing all six approaches flawlessly. Unfortunately, he was a little short of winning bronze in the combined event, but he did have a small silver in the clean and jerk. In general and coaching staff, and he himself understands what needs to be worked on next. This will all benefit him.

– How do you evaluate the performance of the other guys?

- On this moment Four more girls performed. For Asel Amangeldy, this is the first major international start. Four years ago she competed at the Junior Asian Games. After that I was nowhere. Sadykova and Saduakasova last year We haven’t performed anywhere, and even before that we haven’t often chosen to participate in such tournaments. Don’t forget that we brought the second team here with the purpose of “running it in” and testing it in practice. The first team's main start this year will be at the World Championships in Anaheim, USA. Among the experienced athletes we have here, in fact, is only Alexandra Aborneva. But our heavyweight has yet to compete in the tournament. We hope for her successful performance in the new weight category over 90 kg - this weight was introduced in the new Olympic cycle. She and our other heavyweight Ibragim Bersanov (up to 105 kg) will perform on the final day of the competition on Saturday, April 29. The performance of 19-year-old Semyon Linder (up to 85 kg) also remains. He has already competed at the 2015 Asian Championships. Let's see how it performs here.
