Month of physical culture and sports, cultural and recreational activities under the motto "Health and happiness" continues to gain momentum. Last weekend, the Olympic village was the site of large-scale action involving more than 1,000 students who held an open-air gym, and in the capital's sports complex "Galkinish" held final matches of the championship of Turkmenistan to the Indian kabaddi team game.


A large-scale wellness event took place on the large square in front of a multifunctional sports complex with stands for 15 thousand seats. Among the students, representing 16 higher education institutions of our country, many are volunteers, which next year will serve the V Asian Indoor Games and Martial Arts.



... Kabaddi state championship gathered male and female teams from Ahal, Mary, Dashoguz provinces and the city of Ashgabat. Top skills in the Indian game, similar to the Turkmen national amusement "ayterek-gunterek", demonstrated capital athletes who won gold medals in both groups of participants.

Kabaddi has a thousand-year history of development. It is equivalent to martial arts, since it allows the use of fighting and wrestling techniques. The popularity of the sport in Asia suggests the inclusion of kabaddi tournaments in the register of Classic Summer Asian Games (since 1990).



From 13 to 19 April in the Iranian city of Urmia Asian kabaddi championship will be held, which will be attended by our junior team. Men's national team now also conducts intensive training for the continental level tournament, which will be held from April 25 to May 1 in the capital of Pakistan - Islamabad city.
