Kazakh Skaters secure 11 licenses for Olympics in Sochi

"The Kazakh national team returned from the World Cup which took place in Calgary and Salt Lake City. According to the results we can say that skating team is formed for 90 percent. 5 members of the national team of Kazakhstan met international requirements and have been put in the list of participants of the Games", said the coach.

But unfortunately Roman Krech, a sprinter, suffered an injury right before the start and was not able to take part in the competitions.

According to Sayutin's words the preparation for the tournament goes on as planned: the current second phase will be finished after the World Cups in Astana and Berlin. Later, the team will gather for another event which will be held in Cyprus.

Recall that Kazakhstan World Cup kicks off on Friday, November 29. During the three days the leading skaters of the planet will fight for the points of the world tournament which will give them a pass to the Olympic Games in Sochi.
