In Ashgabat, Vladimir Maksimov, President of the Children of Asia International Committee, and Ata Akmammedov, Secretary General of the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Turkmenistan, visited the boarding school of the Olympic reserve of Turkmenistan.
The guests learned about the educational and training process, inspected the sports infrastructure, and toured the facilities and equipment of the educational institution where future champions are trained.
Vladimir Maksimov noted the high level education and training. "The boarding school has everything for comprehensive training of athletes," he emphasized. "Young talents can fully realize their potential and achieve high results on international stage."
The visit is particularly significant because the boarding school is a true talent pool for Turkmen sports. It is noteworthy that the overwhelming majority of athletes from Turkmenistan who represented the country at the Children of Asia Games are alumni of this Olympic Reserve School. This clearly demonstrates an efficient training system of the school.
Another proof of the continuity of generations and the success of the Children of Asia project is the fact that a Children of Asia Games alumnus, a participant of the 2008 Games, works as a coach at the Turkmenistan Olympic Reserve School. This demonstrates that the project not only paves the way to athletic excellence but also develops future mentors who pass on their experience to new generations of athletes.
Vladimir Maksimov's visit to the boarding school of the Olympic Reserve School of Turkmenistan was an important event and confirmes a fruitful cooperation between the CAIC and the NOC of Turkmenistan, and also demonstrates the educational institution's significant contribution to children's and youth sports in the country.
