“We were all on the same level up to 17 kilometers, but then I took the lead and came first. I faced difficulties with communication and assembling and disassembling weapons, as our methods are different,” Zaygaly told the Atameken Business TV channel.
Albosynova became the absolute winner among female participants. She took sixth place in the overall ranking among men and women.
According to the competition organizers, the Kazakh military personnel showed a high level of training, passing difficult tests of strength, agility and endurance.
