Yakutia's Ayal Sivtsev Makes History With First World Championship Medal
Yakutia's Ayal Sivtsev has made history, winning the first World Championship medal for an athlete from the region. The combined athlete from Yakutia and Russia secured bronze in the men's F57 discus throw at the World Para Athletics Championships on September 30.
Sivtsev's impressive performance saw him throw 11.95 meters in his final attempt, earning him third place in the event. This remarkable feat took place in the Republic of Sakha, where the name of the training center where athletes prepare for the national team remains unspecified.
Next, Sivtsev will compete in the men's F57 javelin throw on October 5, looking to build on his recent success and inspire fellow athletes from Yakutia.

As Sivtsev prepares for his next event, the Republic of Sakha looks forward to seeing more athletes follow in his footsteps and make their mark on the international stage.
