Valentina Meredova, a multiple champion and record holder of Turkmenistan in the sprint, will represent the country at the 2024 XXXIII Olympic Games in Paris. She will compete in the 100 meter race.
39-year-old Meredova has shown consistently high results in national and international tournaments in recent years. Earlier this year, at the Asian Indoor Athletics Championships in Tehran, she set a new national record in the 60-meter race, running the distance in 7.44 seconds, the Neutral Turkmenistan newspaper reported.
Valentina’s sports career began almost 27 years ago, when her talent was noticed by a school physical education teacher. Now she is preparing for the Olympics under the leadership of the senior coach of the national team, Baymurad Ashirmuradov.
This will be Meredova’s second Olympics – she already represented Turkmenistan at the 2008 Games in Beijing. The athlete’s recent achievements include a silver medal in the 4x100 meter relay and a bronze medal in the 100 meter at the Central Asian Open Athletics Championships in May this year in Tashkent.
Chairman of the Athletics Federation of Turkmenistan Hajymyrat Rahmanov noted that Meredova earned the right to represent the country at the Olympics thanks to her strong-willed character and ability to give 100 percent.
Preliminary competitions in the 100-meter distance, in which Valentina Meredova will perform, will take place on August 2.
The ninth stage of the Silk Way Rally: the kingdom of speed
The Silk Way rally marathon caravan continues to follow high mountain routes. This time, the athletes faced a 558-kilometer stage through a mountain pass with serpentine roads to the river bed. The main feature of the special stage was the high-speed routes, which required increased vigilance due to the many cross gullies and difficult terrain. At the same time, the participants had to preserve their equipment, because the next day all crews would set off for the first part of the marathon stage.
Serial SUVs
The crew of LADA Sport ROSNEFT Raid, driven by Mikhail Mityaev, won the T2 series SUV category. The debutant of the International Silk Way Rally won eight minutes from Maksatmyrat Danatarov and was almost ten minutes ahead of Andrey Sushentsov.
Sushentsov nevertheless continues to lead the overall standings, five hours ahead of the crew of the Toyliyev brothers. Maksatmyrat Danatarov closes the top three, followed by Mikhail Mityaev and Meilis Abdullaev.
The “Silk Way” rally will last until July 15.
Today, on July 14, the final match of Euro 2024 will take place, which is guaranteed, regardless of the result, to give a lot of emotions.
Spain and England are facing off at the Olympiastadion stadium in Berlin.
Spain
More people are likely to cheer for the Spanish national team than for England. The Red Fury demonstrates the most beautiful spectacular football. She moves a lot with the ball and skillfully confuses the opponent with a large number of passes. This is supported by the excellent technique and ingenuity of the players.
For all their splendor, Luis de la Fuente's charges are vulnerable. During the meeting with France, they had an important problem. The Spaniards won 2-1, but they spent almost the entire second half on the defensive.
England
The England national team, led by Gareth Southgate, prefers a cautious game. The British are adapted to get good results. Fans can be indignant as much as they want because of the bleakness of the three lions game, but it did not prevent them from reaching the finals.
At Euro 2024, the British have already gone through fire and water. They had a test with extra time and a penalty shootout. The Three Lions are very well prepared for the decisive test. The depth of the squad is the main weapon of the England national team. Kane, Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Palmer, Gordon, Eze, Tony, Watkins, Bowen — the most powerful selection of football players in the attack.
What time does it start and where to watch it?
The Spain—England meeting will begin at 23:55 Ashgabat time. The game will be shown live on TV channels "Match TV", "Match! Football 1", "Persiana Sports".
361 medals – 122 gold, 103 silver and 136 bronze – were won by Turkmen athletes at international competitions in the first half of the year.

The eighth stage was a serious test at the distance of the 14th edition of the Silk Road Rally Marathon.
The 314-kilometer-long special stage began on rocky roads leading to the stone riverbed, from where the caravan of participants headed to the Zavkhan sand massif, where the crews had to overcome 100 kilometers of dunes.
