Temirtau hockey players won bronze at the Youth Olympic Games

The national team of Kazakhstan became the bronze medalist of the IV Winter Youth Olympic Games in Gangwon, South Korea. The team consisted of two pupils of the Temirtau hockey school.

In the match for the third place, the Kazakhstanis beat the Austrian team with a score of 6:5. A few days ago, in the group stage game, the national hockey team already met with the Austrians, losing then with a result of 8:9. But the Kazakhstanis managed to make a beautiful revenge.

Among the bronze medalists of the Youth Olympic Games are two pupils of the Temirtau hockey school – Roman Michurov and Egor Kravchenko (born in 2008).

This is the third medal of the domestic young Olympians in Gangwon. Earlier, Ilya Mizernykh became the champion in ski jumping, and short–track athlete Polina Omelchuk became the bronze medalist. Thus, Kazakhstanis have one gold and two bronze awards in their assets.
