The Uzbekistan Paralympic team has won two medals at the Paralympic Games in Paris. Our athletes, Ziyodakhon Isakova and Muslima Odilova, brought home a silver and a bronze, demonstrating exceptional skill and determination.
Ziyodakhon Isakova competed in the under-47 kg category in para-taekwondo. In the final match, she faced off against Peru’s Leonor Angelica Espinoza Carranza. The bout was intense and full of drama, but our athlete narrowly lost with a score of 10-4, earning a well-deserved silver medal.
Muslima Odilova competed in the 100-meter butterfly swimming event. In the final race, she delivered an excellent performance, finishing third. This bronze medal marks her second Paralympic medal, as she previously won two silver medals at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
It’s worth noting that the Uzbekistan Paralympic team at these games consists of 65 athletes who secured 113 licenses, the highest number of participants in the history of Uzbekistan’s Paralympic sports. Our Paralympians will compete in various disciplines, including athletics, judo, swimming, powerlifting, canoeing, rowing, taekwondo, shooting, and cycling.
These achievements reflect the high level of preparation and talent of our athletes, as well as the significant progress of Uzbekistan’s Paralympic sports on the international stage. We eagerly anticipate more successes from our Paralympians and are confident that even brighter victories lie ahead.
