Summer games

Uzbekistan first competed in the 1996 Summer Olympics as an independent state. The first summer Olympians were the wrestlers Schamsiddin Chudojberdijew and Grigory Puljajew on July 19, 1996. The country's first women at the summer games two days later were gymnasts Oksana Chusowitina and Anastassija Jjundschjak. The first medalist of Uzbekistan at the summer games was the judoka Armen Bagdasarow, who won the silver medal in the middleweight division on July 22, 1996. Boxer Karim Toʻlaganov won bronze in the light middleweight division a few days later. In athletics, the decathlete Ramil Ganiyev reached 8th place.

In boxing, the first Olympic victory was achieved at the summer games in 2000. Muhammadqodir Abdullayev won the light welterweight division. Bronze medals were won by Sergey Mixaylov in the light heavyweight division and Rustam Saidov in the super heavyweight division. Freestyle wrestler Artur Taymazov won silver in the super heavyweight division. In the featherweight division, Damir Zachartdinow reached fourth place. The gymnast Yekaterina Xilko came fourth on the trampoline. The marksman Dilshod Muxtorov reached 5th place with the free pistol.

In 2004 two Olympic champions came from the wrestling camp. Artur Taymazov won his silver medal from Sydney. In the Greco-Roman style Aleksandr Doxturishvili won the featherweight. In freestyle, Magomed Ibragimov won silver in the heavyweight division of freestyle wrestling. The boxers Bahodirjon Sultonov in the bantamweight and Oʻtkirbek Haydarov in the light heavyweight both won bronze.

In 2008 Artur Taymazov was able to defend his Olympic victory. Soslan Tigiyev won silver welterweight. In follow-up tests, both athletes were convicted of doping and subsequently disqualified.

The canoeist Vadim Menkov crossed the finish line in fourth in the single-canoe over 1000 meters.

In 2012 Artur Taymazov won again in the super heavyweight division. His doping test was not noticed during follow-up tests, so this gold medal was not withdrawn from him. In the middleweight division of the boxing tournament, Abbos Atoyev won bronze. The half light weight judoka Rishod Sobirov also won bronze . The athlete Svetlana Radzivil came in seventh in the high jump. In weightlifting, the heavyweights Ruslan Nurudinov reached 4th place and Ivan Yefremov 5th place.

Bronze went to Murodjon Ahmadaliyev in the bantamweight division and Rustam Toʻlaganov in the heavyweight division.
