Statistics state that over the course of major sporting events, forty percent of all competitors are women, but female athletes are covered by less than four percent of all sports media.

Female participants of the seminar, inspired by the sports example from Tash-Kumyr, Kyrgyzstan themselves tried to measure their strength with men.

It was not the easiest exercise. A journalism teacher from Kazakhstan tries her hand at forced sports in order to train young radio journalists, to make sports programs for radio using her own experience.

In response to UNESCO's appeal to give women more opportunities to cover sports events, the editor-in-chief of the Almaty branch of the national radio network "Kazakh Radio" invited interested female students of journalism faculties to practice sports commentators profession in the sports editorial office of the broadcasting outlet.

The professional of radio journalism Bakyt Jagipparovich Kutpanbaev appeals to the audience of the winter school.
