Athlete Bakyt Kusakbayeva Secures Third Medal at Asian Championships
Hittin' the Mat, Kussakbaeva Brings Home the Bronze!
In a fierce battle at the Asian Championship 2025, held in the steamy streets of Bangkok, our very own Kazakhstani judo champ, Bakyt Kussakbaeva, staked her claim on the podium by bagging the bronze. Here's how it all went down!
Competing in the under-57kg weight category, Kussakbaeva buckled down, clinching a spot in the repechage round and setting herself up for a shot at bronze.
Her opponent in the medal bout was none other than Maya Pardaeva from Turkmenistan—a bronze medalist at the 2023 Asian Games. The match was off to the races as Pardaeva scored a point and jumped ahead early.
But fear not, Kazakhstan fans! Our fiercely focused Kussakbaeva wasn't one to be trifled with. She dug deep, securing an impressive ippon, a game-ending move, and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
This marks Kussakbaeva's first-ever appearance on the Asian Championship podium, a momentous occasion for the 29-year-old athlete. Meanwhile, our national squad has now amassed a total of three medals from this tournament, with Galiya Tynbayeva and Sherzod Davlatov also securing their own victories.
