Kazakh athletes win 96 licenses for participation in Olympic Games

A national team to participate in the Olympic Games in Tokyo was formed. For the first time in the past 20 years, Kazakhstan has nominated simultaneously three athletes for team archery competitions. Cyclists will return to competing after a long break. Kazakh athletes will also take part in newly introduced types of sports – rock climbing and karate. Overall, domestic athletes won 96 licenses in 27 sports. At the same time, international federations will soon release the results of the license redistribution in some types of sports. The final line-up of the national team will be announced after July 5. It is already known that contestants will compete for 339 sets of medals at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
