Totally, Enebay won four medals – two gold in exercises with ball and jumping rope as well as silver and bronze medals in show performance with hoop and exercises with band accordingly. Myahri Myratnazarova has also became the leader in the performance with balls in her group, having added gold medal to the collection of our team. Tennis players Umyt Amandurdiyev (badminton) and Roman Omarov (tennis) have brought silver and bronze medals to the collection box of Turkmen team. The tournament, which brought together around 8,000 sportsmen from more than 170 countries, is not only the largest sport event but also a great humanitarian action aimed at the adaptation of people with limited capabilities.
