The delegation of Uzbekistan won the first gold medal at the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympics. The author of the award was the para-athlete Asila Mirzayorova.
Our compatriot, who competed in the long jump (category T 11), with a result of 5.24 m, recorded the best figure and set a new Paralympic record. For the record, no one has been able to break this record since 1996.
Thus, currently the Uzbek delegation has 1 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze medals.
Judo athletes also began to replenish the treasury of the Uzbek delegation with important medals. Our talented para-athlete Sherzod Namazov, who competed in the -60 kg weight category (J2 category), defeated Zurab Zurabyan from Georgia in the final and won the gold award.
Ziyodakhon Isakova from Uzbekistan won a silver medal at the Paralympic Games in Paris. The athlete competed in para-taekwondo in the weight category up to 47 kg among women. In the final, she lost to Leonora Angelica Espinosa Carranza from Peru with a score of 4:10.
For the first time in the history, 65 athletes of the Uzbek delegation won 113 permits in 9 sports in these important four-year starts, which will last until September 8.
Last night, the first group of Uzbek Paralympians arrived in Paris. At Charles de Gaulle International Airport, members of the sports delegation of our country were warmly welcomed by representatives of the Organizing Committee of the Summer Paralympic Games and employees of the diplomatic mission of Uzbekistan in France.
