New system on preparing and selecting sportsmen

It was highlighted that the Andijan, Bukhara and Fergana boxing schools, which were famous at the Sydney and Rio Olympics, have not yet shown results.

Although 352 national competitions were held last year, no district stage and 158 regional stages were organized in any region.

"I have reorganized the Ministry of Sports and given specific tasks to the ministers and deputies.

Now a completely new system of training and selection of athletes will be introduced," said the President.

First of all, the approaches to enlisting youngsters to sports from an early age and training talented athletes will be altered.
