Listening to such songs young people, common people get encouraged and go to win”.
As Yerlan Alimov noted, the main idea of the song originally belonged to Ali, later the idea was supported by other people. “We asked other sportsmen to support us and take part in video filming, but many of them were busy by that time and couldn’t take part in it. The video shooting took place on January 3-4 when the sportsmen were preparing for the Universiade-2017. But we were happy to work with those who could take part. We worked with the members of the national team of Kazakhstan. We were especially pleased to shoot the video with a young figure skater Gulzhan Zhumadilova, who is the two time champion of Kazakhstan and gives great hope”.
Costumes were especially made for the video clip. The video shooting was arranged on real sport venues of the Universiade such as ice palace “Almaty Arena” and “Halyk Arena”, on Medeu ice ring, in Chymbulak, in Sports palace Baluan Sholak and ski jumping comlex Sunkar as well as in the Athletes village.
