Abzal Azhgaliyev (born 30 June 1992) is a Kazakh male short-track speed skater.[1] He has competed in three Winter Olympic Games and is the first short-track skater from Kazakhstan to win a World Cup event.[2][3] Holding eight World Cup podiums, he is the most decorated Kazakh skater.[2]

Early life

Azhgaliyev was born in 1992 in Uralsk, West Kazakhstan.[4] He started skating at age nine when a recruiter came to his school and encouraged boys to try the sport.[5][2] At age eleven he tried short track and loved the speed of it.[5] He left secondary school and moved to a special school where he could focus on his training.[6] He graduated from the Kazakh Academy of Sport and Tourism with a degree in sports education.[2][6]

Career

His coaches are Madygali Karsybekov, Zhasulan Mukhambetkaliev, and Pyotr Gamidov.[2][6]

Azhgaliyev's first international competition was in Moscow in 2006. It hooked him on the sport.[5]

In 2007, Azhgaliyev was designated Master of Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan.[2][7]

In 2011, Azhgaliyev was on the relay team that won the bronze medal in the Asian Games.[7]

Azhgaliyev was the first Kazakh skater to win a World Cup event when he medaled in the 500m in 2016 in Salt Lake City, UT, United States. His time was 40.373 seconds.[7][8] He received the title of Master of Sports of International Class of the Republic of Kazakhstan.[7]

With state funding, Azhgaliyev and the other members of the national relay team trained in the Netherlands.[9] However, he professed to prefer training in Kazakhstan, instead. He prefers to be with family.[9] Now he trains in Nur-Sultan, where new facilities have been constructed.[5] Russian skaters Semen Elistratov and Dmitry Migunov train in Nur-Sultan with the Kazakh team.[5]

He has skated three times in the Winter Olympics.

His first winter games were in Sochi, Russia, in 2014, where he skated in the Men's 5000 Meters Relay.[2] The team took fifth place.[4]

He was the flagbearer in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Korea, where he was also the captain of the Kazakh National Olympic Team.[4] He competed in the Men's 5000 Meters Relay.[2]

In 2022, Azhgaliyev was once again the flagbearer for Kazakhstan.[2] In Beijing, China, he competed in the 500m Men's event, as well as the Mixed Team Relay team with Adil Galiakhmetov, Denis Nikisha, Yana Khan, and Olga Tikhonova.[10][2] Their relay team placed fifth.[2]

His athletic heroes include Russia's Viktor An, Canadian Charles Hamelin, and China's Wang Meng.[2]
