Madigali Karsybekov, head coach of the Kazakhstan short-track team:
- In connection with the preparation for the Olympic Games, the men's and women's teams were abroad, so they took little part in the Kazakhstani competitions. Therefore, we transferred the championship of Kazakhstan at the end of the season, when all the world championships will end to determine the rating of the strongest in Kazakhstan to determine the national team for the next stage. And make up the race according to their rating.
