Uzbekistan at the Olympics

Uzbekistan first participated at the Olympic Games as an independent nation in 1994, and has sent athletes to compete in every Games since then. Previously, Uzbek athletes competed as part of the Soviet Union from 1952 to 1988, and after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan was part of the Unified Team in 1992.

At the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Armen Bagdasarov earned the distinction of becoming the first athlete to win an Olympic medal for independent Uzbekistan, claiming silver in the men's judo middleweight division. Four years later, at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Muhammad Abdullaev made history as the first Uzbek athlete to win Olympic gold, triumphing in the men’s light-welterweight boxing event. In the Winter Games, Uzbekistan debuted at the 1994 Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer. During those Games, Lina Cheryazova captured gold in the women's freestyle skiing aerials, becoming both Uzbekistan’s first Winter Olympic medalist and the country’s first Olympic champion overall.

At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Uzbekistan achieved its most successful performance in history, securing a total of 13 medals: 8 gold, 2 silver, and 3 bronze, and finishing 13th overall among 206 participating countries. The nation dominated in men’s boxing, winning five gold medals, while judo, taekwondo, and freestyle wrestling also contributed significantly—including Diyora Keldiyorova making history as the first Uzbek woman to win Olympic gold at the Summer Games, triumphing in women's half lightweight judo event.

Uzbek athletes have won a total of forty nine medals at the Summer Olympic Games, mostly in wrestling, boxing and judo. The nation has also won a single medal at the Winter Olympic Games. The National Olympic Committee for Uzbekistan, National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan, was created in 1992 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 1993.
