March 20 – National Sports Day.
As part of the ten-day celebration of Nauryz, March 20 is observed as "National Sports Day." Traditional sports help preserve cultural heritage and strengthen the national identity of the younger generation. For the Kazakh people, they are not just entertainment but also an art form that awakens a warrior spirit, requiring agility and bravery.
On this day, competitions are held across all regions of the country in baiga, kokpar, audarispak, zhamby atu, tenge ilu, berkutchi (hunting with birds of prey), as well as in asyk atu, togyzkumalak, and archery.
In honor of National Sports Day, competitions in arm wrestling, lengi tebu, and asyk atu were held among staff members. The winners, who revived national traditions, were awarded commemorative prizes.
Congratulations on the holiday! Let us promote and popularize traditional sports not only on festive days but also in everyday life!
