A 1970 graduate of The Daghestan State Pedagogical Institute, Nazlymov earned a bachelor's and master's degree in physical education. He earned the title of Master of the Sport (Fencing) in 1968.
Nazlymov began fencing at a young age in Makhachkala, Daghestan. His first coach was Gaik Kazaryan (Russian: Гайк Александрович Казарян). While fulfilling a two-year army obligation, which was mandatory for all 18-year-olds in the Soviet Union, Nazlymov was put in a special regimen where he was able to fence with the Central Sports Army Club team in Moscow. He achieved a rank of Colonel with the Red Army.
Competing for the Soviet Union, Nazlymov was a three-time Olympic Team Gold medallist (1968, 1976, 1980), Team Silver medallist (1972) and individual silver and bronze medallist (1976, 1972). In addition to his six Olympic medals, Nazlymov also is a 10-time World Champion. Eight of the championships were team titles, while two were individual crowns (1975, 1979). Additionally, he was a world championship silver medallist (1977) and bronze medallist (1970, 1973). From 1971-1977, Nazlymov reigned as the USSR national champion (team and individual). In recognition of his tremendous success, Nazlymov twice was named the world's best sabre fencer by the (F.I.E.) International Fencing Federation (1975, 1977).
