At the 2012 European Championships Khugaev set a European record whilst winning the 200 metres.[1] He also won gold in the long jump in a combined F37/38 class, however an illegal wind reading of 2.4 m/s prevented him from setting a world record.[2] Khugaev set a F37 world record for the long jump at the London Paralympic Games as he won gold in a combined F37/38 class.[3]
