Mentors of men’s team of Kazakhtan had waited for that moment impatiently as the name of Rustem was not in the preliminary list. Although, according to their estimations, he should be there for sure. Our athlete might have not bring the case up to this point, although in order to enter the top five qualifying for the Asian Championship in China's Chengdu, he was behind by only one position. Nevertheless Sabirhuzin will still go to London to his third Olympics. 113 points (33rd place), as it turned out, were enough to achieve a positive result. In many ways, the selection rules for the main start of four years played into the hands of our team, that is, only two athletes can represent the country. In this regard, the Italians and the Russians were forced to keep only two out of four qualified.
Thus, the Kazakhstan Modern Pentathlon men's national team acquired a full license quota. Previously, Pavel Ilyashenko has won a ticket.
