A recent meeting of
the Board of Trustees of Children's Sports Development Fund has defined a wide
range of tasks the solution of which will favor the involvement of young
Uzbekistanis in the ranks of athletes. Along with other things, it was
recommended to prepare video materials on high achievements of Uzbek athletes
at international competitions that increase the glory of Uzbekistan and create a vivid image
of the country in the international arena.
Just several days before this meeting the Republican television broadcasted
a new work of the O’zbektelefilm studio “Sports Festival of Guangzhou.” This half-hour film included major events of the 16th
Summer Asian Games, especially the most catching exhibitions of Uzbek athletes in
China.
From the exciting ceremony of hoisting a flag of Uzbekistan in the village of
athletes the documentary leads viewers around the arenas of sports fights,
enthrallingly and in professional manner reflecting the tension of competitions,
the sporting spirit and patriotism of our athletes.
The film has become the sort of a report of the
operator Anvar Avazho’jayev on his 20-day trip to one of the major cities of China. He
managed to attend almost all events of the Games significant for the Uzbek
people. Though it was barely possible taking into account those great distances
between sport arenas where wrestlers, boxers, chess players, gymnasts,
athletes, tennis players, rowers and representatives of other sports competed.
But for the high-class cameraman Anvar Avazho’jayev who films with his camera
competitions of many Olympic and Asian Games, it seems nothing is impossible.
No without reason he was recognized as the most active sports cameraman of the
country in 2010.
“I like the film,” responded on Avazho’jayev’s
film the president of the National Olympic Committee of Uzbekistan Malik Babayev.
“The main thing is that it reflects high patriotism of our athletes, their spirit
to stand up for the honor of their motherland, to do the best in order to see
the flag of Uzbekistan
on the top of the flagpole and the country’s anthem to be heard. Our young
sportive growth should be fostered on such examples, such films.”
