At the VI World Nomad Games, a decision was made to reduce the number of weight categories. This was announced at a press conference at the "Kabar" agency by Nursultan Adenov, head of the International Secretariat of the World Nomad Games.
According to Adenov, this move is the result of an analysis of previous games. He noted that too many weight categories complicate the organization of competitions and reduce spectator interest. "If one sport lasts all day, spectators lose interest, and participants get tired. Many athletes want to compete in several disciplines, and we provide them with that opportunity," he added.
Considering these points, the organizers decided to keep only those weight categories that are most interesting to spectators. The program also took into account the balance of national sports from various countries.
Adenov emphasized that an excessive focus on Kyrgyz disciplines could negatively affect the international reputation of the Games. "If we promote only the national sports of one country, it may cause dissatisfaction among participants from other states, which threatens the success of the project. Therefore, all decisions are made thoughtfully and discussed with the relevant federations," he noted.
