Man completes Isyk-Kul marathon in Kazakhstan

Thousands of competitors from multiple nations gathered for the marathon. The International Issyk-Kul SCO Marathon saw a surprising turn of events, as the gold medal winner, Zhaksylyk Mamyrbekuly from Kazakhstan, was disqualified. Here's the lowdown.

Initially, Zhaksylyk, in the 65-and-above age group, clinched the top spot in the run that took place on May 15 in Cholpon-Ata, with over 3000 athletes from 35 countries participating. However, news soon emerged that the champ hailed an ambulance due to an injury mid-race, received medical aid, and managed to reach almost the finish line in the vehicle.

But, as luck wouldn't have it, the rules of the Run the Silk Road - Shanghai Cooperation Organization marathon, as far as we currently know, don't seem to allow for such assistance. And, well, that's what led to ol' Zhaksylyk's disqualification.

Now, the nitty-gritty on the rules and regulations specific to the International Issyk-Kul SCO Marathon, along with the exact reason behind Zhaksylyk's disqualification, is a bit hazy. You might want to dive into the official sources or announcements regarding the marathon for a more detailed answer. Generally, sporting events like marathons adopt strict guidelines for medical assistance to ensure a level playing field and competitor safety. Violations of these rules could potentially lead to disqualification. But, hey, without access to the marathon's specific rulebook or official announcements, it's tricky to provide a concrete explanation. So there you have it! Stay tuned for more updates!
