As you know, Zhaksylyk Ushkempirov, the first Kazakh Olympic champion in Greco-Roman wrestling, dreamed of becoming a world champion in freestyle wrestling.

Today, when Rizabek Aitmukhan arrived in the capital, he first of all paid tribute to the memory of the famous wrestler by laying flowers at the monument to Zhaksylyk Ushkempirov, which is located in front of the Martial Arts Palace.

We wish Rizabek, who at the age of 19 won an unprecedented victory in the history of independent Kazakhstan and raised our blue flag into the sky, to conquer the Olympic peak along the path of Zhaksylyk Ushkempirov.
