"The dream of young people like me, who were born and raised in an independent country, is to raise the Kazakh flag. 

"The coaches did everything for our preparation. 

"We will do our best in Tokyo."

Aside from judo, Kazakhstan is set to be represented at Tokyo 2020  in swimming, powerlifting, taekwondo, athletics, shooting and canoeing.
