Results and competitors by event

Athletics

The lone bright spot for the Uzbekistani team in Athens was Asian champion Lyubov Perepelova's run to the semifinals in the women's 100 meters. This was marred, however, by the positive drug test of shot putter Olga Shchukina. Asian decathlon champion Vitaliy Smirnov had three new personal bests on his way to a 17th place finish. Perepelova and Guzel Khubbieva were the only Uzbekistani in athletics to advance to at least the second round in their competition.

Boxing

Uzbekistan sent nine boxers to Athens. All nine made it past the round of 32, with five victories and four byes. Four of the boxers fell in the round of 16 (two of which had not had matches in the round of 32). Three more barely missed medalling by being defeated in the quarterfinals, while the two that had won their quarterfinal bouts both lost in the semifinals to earn bronze medals. These two bronze medals put the Uzbekis in a four-way tie for 12th place in the boxing medals count. The combined record of the nine boxers was 12–9.

Canoeing

Flatwater

No Uzbekistani boats made a final in Athens, but there were some solid results, especially in both K1 500 metre competitions, where decent mid-table finishes were recorded. Although the K4 1000m crew appears to have done well to finish 10th, there were only 10 boats in the competition, and the Uzbekistani entry was the only one not to make the final.

Men's K1 500 metres:

  • Anton Ryahov
    • Heat: 1:42.253 (6th place in heat 2, advanced to semifinal)
    • Semifinal: 1:40.737 (5th place in semifinal 1, did not advance, 12th overall)

Cycling

Road cycling

Uzbekistan's only cyclist at the 2004 Games finished in a 17 man group almost 9 minutes behind the leaders. Lagutin stayed with the main group through the first 14 laps, but when the pace ramped up as the finish line approached, he dropped back.

Men's Road Race:

Gymnastics

Artistic Gymnastics

Oxana Chusovitina attempted to qualify in only 1 event, the vault, and fell well short, finishing last and producing the lowest scored vault of the qualification round with her first effort. Considering that Chusovitina was an Olympic gold medalist in the team event for the Unified Team, and had won a gold medal at the 2003 Worlds on the vault, along with 8 other medals at the World Championships and 3 at the Asian Games, this was a surprisingly poor performance.

Women's all-around:

  • Oxana Chusovitina
    • Qualification: 8.675 points (97th overall)
      • Vault: 8.800 points (23rd overall)

Trampoline Gymnastics

The only Uzbekistani gymnast on the trampoline fared much better than her artistic counterpart, finishing only a point short of qualifying for the final thanks to two consistent routines that both placed 11th.

Women's Individual:

Judo

Uzbekistani judoka had a dismal Games, winning only a single bout from the 7 contested, the largest delegation in the competition to not have at least two wins. Interestingly, not a single Uzbekistani judoka advanced to the repechage, again making them the largest team to have such a dubious honour.

Rowing

Of the three boats Uzbekistan sent to the Olympics, only the single sculler Tchernenko finished ahead of more than one other boat. Tchernenko's qualification for the D final, avoiding the five weakest boats in the E final, was the rowing team's high point. While the other boats finished higher in overall ranking than Tchernenko, these positions were last and second last in their respective events.

Men's Single Sculls:

  • Vladimir Tchernenko
    • Heats: 7:38.27 (3rd in heat 3, advanced to repechage)
    • Repechage: 7:13.43 (3rd in repechage 3, advanced to semifinal D/E)
    • Semifinal D/E: 7:13.21 (3rd in semifinal D/E 1, advanced to final D)
    • Final D: 7:23.56 (6th in final D, 24th overall)

Men's Lightweight Double Sculls:

  • Sergey Bogdanov and Ruslan Naurzaliyev
    • Heats: 6:52.34 (5th in heat 3, advanced to repechage)
    • Repechage: 6:45.69 (4th in repechage 3, advanced to semifinal C/D)
    • Semifinal C/D: 6:45.47 (5th in semifinal C/D 2, 21st overall)

Women's Single Sculls:

  • Elena Usarova
    • Heats: 8:32.56 (6th in heat 3, advanced to repechage)
    • Repechage: 8:06.11 (5th in repechage 3, advanced to semifinal C/D)
    • Semifinal C/D: 8:34.04 (6th in semifinal C/D 2, advanced to final D)
    • Final D: 8:09.92(5th in final D, 23rd overall)

Shooting

The lone male shooter, Skoromnov's best showing came in the 3 position rifle event, where he came only 8 points short of reaching a qualification position. He also shot a perfect series during the prone event, though was not as strong overall there. Alyona Aksyonova was not as successful, finishing ahead of just four other shooters in each of her events.

Men's 50 metre Rifle 3 Positions:

  • Vyacheslav Skoromnov
    • Qualification: 1161 points (394 prone, 380 standing, 387 kneeling) (T-12th overall, did not advance)

Women's 50 metre Rifle 3 Positions:

Swimming

None of the 15 Uzbekistani swimmers at the Athens Games were close to qualifying for a semifinal, and most were near the back of the field. Ravil Nachaev in the men's 50 metre Freestyle was the only swimmer to place in the top half of his event, while Nikita Polyakov finished the men's 400 metre IM more than a minute behind Michael Phelps' world record, and almost 30 seconds behind the next-to-last finisher.

Table Tennis

The only table tennis player from Uzbekistan at the Athens Olympics was Manzura Inoyatova, who was ranked 371st in the world. She lost her first match in straight sets.

Women's Singles:

Taekwondo

Neither woman entered in Taekwondo won a match, but Kaydashova's bye into the quarterfinals of the under 57 kg division led to a great medal opportunity, as she actually led her Mexican opponent 6–2 after a strong 2nd round, where she scored with two offensive and two defensive kicks. Salazar Blanco came storming back in the final round to force a tie, and the three judge panel awarded the Mexican the match on superiority.

Weightlifting

The Uzbekistani weightlifting team did not challenge for a medal in any of their events. Saidov was second last at 94 kg, while the other two competitors had mid-table finishes. Alexander Urinov was the second lightest competitor in the 105 kg division at 102.22 kg, enabling him to win a tiebreak for 8th place.

Men's 94 kg:

  • Furkat Saidov
    • 320.0 kg (Snatch 145.0 kg, Clean & Jerk 175.0 kg) (18th overall)

Men's 105 kg:

  • Alexander Urinov
    • 400.0 kg (Snatch 185.0 kg, Clean & Jerk 215.0 kg) (8th overall)

Men's +105 kg:

  • Igor Khalilov
    • 420.0 kg (Snatch 187.5 kg, Clean & Jerk 232.5 kg) (9th overall)

Wrestling

Freestyle

Freestyle Wrestling was clearly Uzbekistan's most successful event, as they earned two of their five medals and the team as a whole went 12–5. Artur Taymazov had earned a Silver medal in Sydney, and with the defending champion not participating, Taymazov's route was clear. Still, the dominance of his performance was impressive, as only one of his opponents could make it the full length of a match, and only that opponent managed to score a point against him. The silver medal of Magomed Ibragimov was also impressive, but for different reasons.

While Tamayzov entered as World Champion and favourite, Ibragimov had no such status. While he did win the 2003 World Junior championship, and the final Olympic Qualifying tournament, Ibragimov had lost both of his matches at the 2002 and 2003 Worlds, and lost out to two of his opponents in Athens, Heidari and Krupniakov at the 2002 Asian Games. He barley managed to beat both at the Olympics, and made his way to a surprise final spot before succumbing to Gatsalov.

Greco-Roman

The first Uzbekistani gold medalist of the Athens games, Alexandr Dokturishvili was born in Georgia and competed for his country of birth until 2001, including winning a World Junior Championship and a European Championship. In 2003, he began competing for Uzbekistan, and after winning the Asian Games and the Olympic Qualifying tournament, won all five of his matches to earn Uzbekistan's first ever Olympic gold medal in Wrestling.
