Kazakh curling team (women)



The Kazakh curling team representing Kazakhstan in international curling competitions . ==History [ edit] == Kazakhstan participated for the first time in a major tournament at the European Championship of 2004 in the Bulgarian capital Sofia . The first international match was ever lost to Ireland : 12-8. It was the start of a dramatic event, which Kazakhstan lost all his matches. A year later the country was present again. This time, the team was able to win a match 7-5 againstBulgaria . It is still the largest Kazakh victory ever. After this tournament Kazakhstan no longer participated in the European Championships. This was partly because the Baluan Sholak Palace of Culture and Sports, the only curling facilities in Kazakhstan, was renovated, so the team had no training facilities. In 2007, Kazakhstan was still visible at the Asian Winter Games, as well as the team lost all its six games.

In 2011, the Kazakh national curling was reopened and announced Kazakh Curling Association that the country would participate in the European Championship again. However, in 2011 Kazakhstan was not present. Instead, the country took part in 2012 in the Pacific-Asian Championship, which the final farewell to the European curling. However, an improvement in the performance did not bring the switch with it. In 2012, only one game was won: 9-8 against Japan . The remaining nine games were all lost. Since 2013 Kazakhstan shines again in the absence of international curling scene. ==Kazakhstan in the Pacific-Asian Championship [ Edit] == ==Kazakhstan at the European Championships [ edit] ==
