Kurbanay Kurbanova, a student of the Faculty of Computer Technologies and Automation at the Turkmen State Architecture and Construction Institute, has won a bronze medal at the World Sambo Championships, achieving an outstanding result on the international sporting stage.
From November 6 to 8, 2026, Tashkent, the capital of the Republic of Uzbekistan, hosted the 50th World Sambo Championships. The prestigious competition brought together 508 athletes from 101 countries, making it a major event in the world of martial arts.
Competing in the women's combat sambo category up to 50 kg, our student demonstrated a high level of athletic preparation, determination, and a strong will to win. In a hard-fought contest for a place on the podium, Kurbanay secured a convincing early victory over Ukraine's Yuliia Zasulska with a score of 10–1, ultimately claiming third place at the championships.
This medal marks another significant achievement in the young athlete's sporting career. Earlier, in April 2026, Kurbanay won a silver medal at the Sambo World Cup in Yerevan. She has now added a World Championship bronze medal to her growing list of sporting accomplishments.
Kurbanay Kurbanova's success is a source of great pride for the entire Institute community. Her achievement is a shining example of how determination, hard work, and the pursuit of excellence enable the youth of Turkmenistan to achieve outstanding results not only in their studies but also in sports.
The entire community of the Turkmen State Architecture and Construction Institute warmly congratulates Kurbanay Kurbanova on her well-deserved medal and wishes her good health, boundless energy, continued sporting success, and many more remarkable victories on the international stage!
