«I will try to progress and improve as well. And not only as an athlete, but also as a coach. And this is all with an eye to the Asian Games, and who knows, maybe the Olympics! Thanks again to everyone for your support, you are the best!» he posted.
At least 12 Kyrgyzstan’s athletes will participate in the Olympic Games in Paris.
