Sport in Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan was once part of the Soviet Union, and did not compete in world sport under its own name until the 1990s. Kazakhstan is the world’s largest landlocked country which is why there is little doubt why the most popular sport in the country is football. Sport is one of the things that keeps the people of Kazakhstan together. Football is a great way to get people together and compete on a friendly and non-violent manner. The Football Federation of Kazakhstan is the national football governing body of Kazakhstan and organizes all the national football.

Other sports that have been gaining popularity include ice hockey, speed skating, weightlifting and gymnastics. Medeo, a skating rink near Almaty is one of the best in the world where many speed acting records were set in the past. Their Indoor Skating Stadium in Astana was built specifically for their hosting of the 2011 Winter Games. Kazakhstan has also produced some most distinguished athletes in the world like Alexander Vinokourov (Cycling), Vladimir Smirnov (Cross country skiing) who took the 7 Olympic medals and 11 World Championships medals, and Dmitriy Karpov and Olga Rypakova (Athletics).
