Improving Competition and Judging Standards
Regarding the outcomes of the 2026 Kyrgyz Championship, Medetkhan noted a noticeable improvement in the overall level of performance. He stated that there is now greater competitiveness across many weight categories, observing that athletes are performing with higher levels of preparation. Furthermore, the federation introduced an electronic voting system for the first time at the republic's championship. This system allows spectators, judges, and coaches to view the judging panel's vote for every round, which helps coaches tactically understand how judges assess the athletes' actions.
Internationalization of the Event
To ensure fully impartial judging and elevate the authority of the judging panel on the international stage, five judges from an international category were invited to participate in the country's championship. The federation aims to continue raising the standard of the championship in this regard.
