March 20 - Day of traditions and culture of national sports!
During the ten-day Nauryzman, on March 20, the country celebrated National Sports Day for the first time. In honor of this, the Eurasian National University named after L.N. Gumilyov organized sporting events. The celebration at the university was opened by the dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Somzhurek Baubek Zhumashuly, who delivered a welcoming speech.
On this significant day, competitions were held in the national game “Asyk atu”, which translates as “Quick Throw”. Asyk is one of the national games of the Kazakh people. A child who grows up playing it becomes a sharp shooter, smarter than others, more persistent and patient. Among those present there were many players who knew how to play the game of our ancestors and wanted to take part in the competition. They showed the qualities of precision, restraint and composure characteristic of rush players.
The game was organized by teachers from the Department of Physical Education and Sports, as well as the Faculty of Social Sciences. The university leadership took part in the competition: vice-rectors, deans of faculties, heads of structural divisions.
Participants who demonstrated their dexterity and skill were awarded diplomas and prizes:
1st place was won by Serik Bikhanuly, a member of the university’s board of trustees, Vice-Rector Makysh.
2nd place was taken by the chairman of the university trade union, Seydesh Bakizhan.
3rd place was taken by the dean of the Faculty of Economics, Zhagyparova Aida Oryntaykovna.
The games were judged by teachers of the organizing department: Azanov A.T, Alikey.A, Jalel.A, Baizakov.T.A, Kauhanova M.S.
Through such events, our national worldview and national values should be enhanced!
