Rima Kashafutdinova
Happy birthday to Kazakhstan’s sprint veteran Rima Kashafutdinova, a mainstay of her country’s 100m and relay scene whose career longevity is its own credential. Sprinting into your thirties means winning a battle most never even fight: keeping elite speed alive through a decade-plus of starts, seasons and comebacks. Rima has been part of Kazakhstan’s 4×100 tradition, where her experience is exactly the kind of steadying force young relay squads are built around — and this year she celebrates with even more to smile about, newly engaged and thriving.
С днём рождения, Рима! Счастья на дорожке и за её пределами! 🎂🎁🎉🫶🫶🇰🇿
