Sporting legends

Dmitriy Balandin

Kazakhstan's famous weightlifters, boxers and wrestlers have won countless Olympic medals for their country. But in 2016, a young athlete came out of nowhere to win a gold medal in a completely different sport. Born in Almaty in 1995, Balandin won three gold medals in the breaststroke events at the 2014 Asian Games. However, when he arrived at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, he wasn't one of the favourites for the 200-metre breaststroke and he almost didn't qualify for the final! Against all odds, the determined swimmer surprised everyone by winning the first ever gold medal in swimming for Kazakhstan! Since then, it was clear that Dmitriy Balandin was one of the most talented swimmers to come out of Kazakhstan.

Adam Peaty

When Adam Peaty was a child he was terrified of water and would scream whenever he had to go in the bath! No one knew that this young boy from Staffordshire in England would grow up to be a record-breaking swimmer. But, that's exactly what happened in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games! When Peaty arrived at the Games, the competitive athlete had already won nineteen medals at various competitions around the world – all before the age of 21! While in Rio, he set a world record of 57.55 seconds in the heats for the 100-metre breaststroke, becoming one of the fastest swimmers in the world. But even more amazingly, in the final, he beat his own record and won the gold medal for Great Britain with the record time of 57.13 seconds!
