The President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov noted in the Address to the Turkmen athletes, ‘Following the heroic and victorious path of our ancestors, you should demonstrate your skills at the international events and win medals. I firmly believe that you will protect the honour and dignity of Turkmenistan, achieve excellent results in various competitions, and lift the national flag of our beloved Motherland highly’. The Turkmen athletes consider it the sacred duty to earn the trust of the President of Turkmenistan. Orazgul Babanyyazova, a student at the secondary school 28 in Gumdag, Balkan Velayat, is one of these young athletes.

Born in Gumdag in 2008, Orazgul has been enthusiastically attending the sports school 7 of the Balkan Velayat Main Department on Physical Culture and Sports since the age of 10. It should be noted that the coach of the sports school Orazgylych Chakanov, who has already prepared a number of talented athletes, does his best to train the weightlifters. Thus, the success of athletes depends primarily on the commitment and hard work of coach.
