Uzbekistan's athletes demonstrated exceptional skill and sportsmanship, achieving several historic milestones. The Uzbek boxing team solidified its reputation as the strongest in the world, topping the boxing medal standings. Five of the seven male boxers on the team clinched gold medals, further enhancing the nation’s sporting legacy.

The gold medalists include Diyora Keldiyorova (judo, -52 kg), Ulugbek Rashitov (taekwondo WT, -68 kg), Razambek Djamalov (freestyle wrestling, -74 kg), Hasanboy Dusmatov (boxing, -51 kg), Abdumalik Khalokov (boxing, -57 kg), Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev (boxing, -71 kg), Lazizbek Mullajonov (boxing, -80 kg), and Bahodir Jalolov (boxing, +92 kg).

Several athletes achieved historic feats during these Games. Diyora Keldiyorova became Uzbekistan’s first-ever Olympic gold medalist in judo and the first woman to win a gold medal for the country at the Summer Olympics. Ulugbek Rashitov, who had previously won gold at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, made history as the first Uzbek taekwondo athlete to win an Olympic title and became the youngest Olympic champion in Uzbekistan’s history at 19. In Paris, he defended his title, becoming a two-time Olympic champion, alongside boxers Hasanboy Dusmatov and Bahodir Jalolov, who also became two-time Olympic champions.

Another significant victory came from Russian-born wrestler Razambek Djamalov, who won Uzbekistan’s first gold in freestyle wrestling in 20 years.

In the overall medal count, the United States led with 127 medals (40 gold, 44 silver, 43 bronze), followed by China with 91 medals (40 gold, 27 silver, 24 bronze), and Japan with 45 medals (20 gold, 12 silver, 13 bronze).

The closing ceremony featured a special performance by American actor Tom Cruise, who performed some of his iconic stunts before handing over the Olympic flag to Los Angeles, the host city for the 2028 Olympic Games. The next Summer Olympics will take place in Los Angeles, USA, in 2028.
