Kazakh Ministry of Tourism and Sports Announces Expectations for Paris Olympics
With three months remaining until the start of the Olympic Games in Paris, Yermek Marzhikpayev, Kazakh Minister of Tourism and Sports, shared his expectations for Kazakh athletes, reported Kazinform news agency.
The Kazakh Ministry of Tourism and Sports has announced that Kazakh athletes have secured 51 licenses for the upcoming Paris Olympics.
“There are still 25 licensed rating tournaments ahead. We must determine the lineup, who we will box with, and the competitors. For the first time in the history of Kazakhstan, our women wrestlers and weightlifters were left without a license,” said Marzhikpayev.
Despite the challenges, Marzhikpayev highlighted new sports where Kazakhstan is making strides.
“There have never been six shooting and five archery licenses,” he said.(Source:astanatimes)
