We gave a lecture about the life and achievements of Kazhymukan Munaytpasov

The multiple winner of the world championships in classical wrestling, the first Kazakh triumphant of the world championship, a unique athlete Kazhymukan Munaytpasov left a mark in the history of not only Kazakhstan, but also world sports. Being an example of selfless service to the Motherland for many generations, he was also remembered for buying an airplane for the needs of the front… The life story of the legendary wrestler has become overgrown with myths and legends. Until now, some moments of Munaytpasov's biography cause controversy among historians and fans of the talent. The 150th anniversary of the birth of the great athlete is another reason to remember the glorious path of a man who fought in every sense until the end of his life. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Kazhymukan Munaytpasov. In this regard, employees of the State Historical and Cultural Reserve-Museum "Monuments of аncient Taraz" of the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan visited the regional specialized children's and youth sports school No. 5 of the Department of Physical Culture and Sports of the Akimat of Zhambyl region, where they gave lectures on the life and achievements of Kazhymukan Munaytpasov.
