Success of the sports policy

Permanently neutral Turkmenistan has been internationally recognized as a sports power in the years of independence. This recognition is due to the great work of our Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov implemented during these glorious years. The President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov noted, ‘The great initiatives started by our Hero-Arkadag have resulted in the high international sports prestige of our country. Different tournaments, including in international events, held in our Motherland, which is recognized as a country capable of hosting large global sports forums, is an excellent embodiment of our national sports strategy’.

Boxing rules in brief

Young boxing fans do not clearly understand the difference between the terms ‘knockdown’ and ‘knockout’. A knockdown occurs when a fighter touches the floor of the ring with any part of the body other than the feet following a hit, but is able to rise back up and continue fighting. A knockdown triggers a count by the referee. There should be one second between the verbal command ‘Stop Punching’ and the count. If a boxer goes down there is a mandatory 8 count. That means that even if the boxer rises to his feet the referee must continue the count up to 8 and then say ‘Box’. If the boxer is not able to rise back up and continue fighting even after the count of 8, the referee says ‘9, 10’ and adds ‘out’ after it. If the fighter fails the count, then the fight is ended as a knockout. At the children’s, youth and amateur events, the fight ends after the first knockdown. The professional boxing match continues until the third knockdown. Besides, a boxer who has been knocked out must rest for at least three months (if the blow was landed to the head) and must undergo medical attendance. The ringside physician immediately examines the beaten boxer. The boxer’s corner acts on the physician's instructions.

The pride of the Turkmen people

Ahalteke horses are an integral part of the national cultural heritage. From ancient times to the present day, representatives of various arts sing in their works love for the horse, its loyalty, grace, intelligence and racing virtues and also immortalise the talent of the people, because such a perfect breed is a result of creativity, knowledge, patience and inexhaustible creative possibilities of many generations. Nowadays Turkmen specialists aim their work at expanding the scientific basis of horse breeding activities using modern methods, promoting equestrian sports in the country and fostering international cooperation in this sphere. However, the main aspect of this work is to preserve the continuity of horse breeding traditions. This baton of glory was passed on from century to century, from one generation to another, and today, in the digital age, it is important that young people continue to revere and cherish the heritage of the nation, which determined their historical destiny.

The call to wellness

The Path of Health symbolizes the state policy in promoting the principles of a healthy lifestyle. That is why the venue has great importance in fostering love for sports, mass physical education and a healthy lifestyle in young people. To date, the development of mass physical culture and sports is a priority of the state policy in Turkmenistan. The vivid results of the successful implementation of this policy are noticeable in any part of our country. In the revival of the new epoch of the powerful state, the President of Turkmenistan contributes to the development of national sports with the education of the inspired, healthy and patriotic young generations. Thus, a person is the most valuable treasure of the society and the state in Turkmenistan. The principles of a healthy lifestyle promote the physical culture in the Turkmen society, increase the labour results, and contribute to a happy life of people. We wish the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov who contributes to the development of the mass physical culture and sports, to the public health, and a prosperous life in the country, a sound health, long life and success for the benefit of our Motherland and people!

In turn, health adorns a person's life. Physical culture and sports are the most reliable and accessible means of strengthening the human health. Sport improves the human health and boosts enthusiasm, passion for life, and labour ability.

Within the framework of the youth policy

The work conducted in Turkmen Agricultural University named after S.A.Niyazov vividly demonstrates the importance of the youth policy successfully implemented under the leadership of the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov, because young people are the future of the country. Students discuss their life conditions and the concepts related to commitment to a healthy lifestyle and sports. It should be noted that the life protection of young people includes such goals as achieving their health and efficient use of time. These goals require them to be physically active and to do sports. That is why, Turkmen Agricultural University named after S.A.Niyazov is considered a very important educational centre in the implementation of youth policy. Thus, the example of the President of Turkmenistan inspires young generations to join the sports movement and to follow the principles of a healthy lifestyle. The Turkmen leader increases the sense of pride of young people, who symbolize the bright future of our prosperous country, because they understand the importance of physical activity and sports. Our compatriots express sincere gratitude to our Hero-Arkadag and the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov for the wonderful opportunities created in this sphere.

Impressive work is underway to educate smart young generations in the new epoch. The construction and operation of world-class sports facilities, including in the Olympic Village, stadiums, equestrian complexes, and specialized sports schools in our beloved Motherland, will contribute to the formation of new generations of athletes who will enhance the international prestige of the Turkmen sport.
