Nazym admitted that after the intense schedule of the Olympics, she took a month and a half off, limiting herself to light training. However, as the Kazakhstan championship approached, she returned to full-fledged workouts, actively preparing for new challenges.

In the conversation, the athlete also highlighted the successful performance of the women’s national team of Kazakhstan at the 2024 Asian Championship, expressing hope for a repeat of this success at the upcoming World Championship.

When the topic of the cars gifted to her came up, Nazym revealed that she kept only one car - the LI 7, which was presented to her in her hometown of Saryjaz in the Rayymbek district of Almaty region. She decided to sell the other cars.

- After the Olympics, you, the medalists, were generously rewarded upon your return. You were given several cars. Prior to this, there were reports in the media that you were selling your cars.

"Yes, I have sold all the cars. I only kept one."

- Which car did you keep?

"I kept the LI-7, and sold the others. Why do I need four cars?" - Nazym explained.

It is worth noting that after the Olympic Games in Paris (France), Nazym Kyzaibay was gifted four cars: Lixiang L7, Mini, Zeekr, and Lixiang L6. In total, from the sale of the cars, Nazym received around 49 million tenge (the calculations are based on the average value of the cars).
