The Kazakh judoka secured first place in the under-48 kg weight category with a total of 5,096 points by the end of the year.

The remaining Kazakh judokas fell short of the top 10, with Gusman Kyrgyzbayev (-66 kg) and Abylaikhan Zhubanazar (-81 kg) ranking 14th.

As Qazinform News Agency reported earlier, Abiba Abuzhakynova rose to the top of the world rankings in the under-48-kilogram weight category.
