Uzbek Coach Rewarded with Car for Assisting Boxer Munarbek Seyitbek uulu
On September 11th, 2024, President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov met with Uzbek boxing coach Akmal Khasanov and presented him with a car as a token of gratitude for his contribution to Munarbek Seyitbek uulu’s victory. This generous gesture was aimed at recognizing the coach’s efforts and highlighting the spirit of friendship and unity between the peoples of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
During the meeting, President Japarov commended Akmal Khasanov for his role in promoting goodwill and cooperation between the two Central Asian nations. He emphasized the significance of sports as a means of fostering peace and understanding among different communities. The President expressed his hope that such acts of solidarity would serve to strengthen the bond between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
Akmal Khasanov, in turn, congratulated President Japarov and the people of Kyrgyzstan on their recent achievements, while also expressing his wish for Kyrgyz athletes to secure a gold medal in the upcoming Olympic Games. The coach’s supportive stance towards Munarbek Seyitbek uulu, who recently clinched a silver medal at the Paris Olympics, was particularly commended by President Japarov.
It is worth mentioning that at the Olympic Games in Paris, Munarbek Seyitbek uulu stood out in the 57-kilogram weight category, ultimately facing off against Abdumalik Khalokov from Uzbekistan in the final. Despite a valiant effort, the judges ruled in favor of the Uzbekistani boxer, prompting Seyitbek uulu to settle for a silver medal. His impressive victories over competitors from Cuba, the USA, and Bulgaria were lauded by spectators and officials alike.
Overall, the exchange between President Japarov and Coach Khasanov serves as a testament to the power of sports in bridging cultural divides and fostering camaraderie between nations. Their shared commitment to promoting unity and mutual support sets a positive example for the broader Central Asian region.
