Kazakhstan Secures 83 Licenses, Unveils 2024 Paris Olympics Uniform This Week
Kazakh team uniforms for the 2024 Paris Games will be officially presented on July 5, said Kazakh Deputy Minister of Tourism and Sports Serik Zharasbayev at a June 28 press conference of the Central Communications Service.
So far, Kazakh athletes have secured 83 spots for the Paris Olympics, scheduled from July 26 to August 11. The finalized list of qualified athletes will be disclosed on July 5.
According to Zharasbayev, there is a notable increase in licenses for shooting and fencing, while licenses for tennis and freestyle wrestling have decreased. Remarkably, Kazakh weightlifters will not participate in the Olympic Games for the first time in history.
Departure schedules for national teams heading to Paris will be determined based on their competition schedules. The rowing team, as stated by Zharasbayev, will be the first to depart for the Olympics on July 20 from Gravelines, France.
“Four teams will fly out from Astana and 10 teams will depart from Almaty. Thirteen teams are scheduled to conduct training camps in Europe, from where the athletes will fly to the Olympic Games. All members of the national team are provided with a Schengen visa. The delegation of Kazakhstan was accredited in full. In total, there are now 118 people in the delegation, including doctors, coaches, athletes and media representatives,” he said.(Source:astanatimes)
